Andrea Ippolito 967b9d3e45 doc/user: make "verifying install" command portable
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

libinput

libinput is a library that provides a full input stack for display servers and other applications that need to handle input devices provided by the kernel.

libinput provides device detection, event handling and abstraction to minimize the amount of custom input code the user of libinput needs to provide the common set of functionality that users expect. Input event processing includes scaling touch coordinates, generating relative pointer events from touchpads, pointer acceleration, etc.
