doc/user: make "verifying install" command portable

Browse source 
According to the linker man page libraries are searched in the following paths:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
Paths in the cache file /etc/ld.so.cache
/lib, /usr/lib, /lib64 and /usr/lib64
As we are not using LD_LIBRARY_PATH, we can rely on ldconfig as a fairly portable solution because it "creates the necessary links and cache to the most recent shared libraries found in the directories specified on the command line, in the file /etc/ld.so.conf, and in the trusted directories (/lib and /usr/lib)".

Tested on fedora 34, manjaro 2021.07, kubuntu 21.04
