After installation, verify that the libraries are present and accessible. Use the ldconfig command:
ldconfig -p | grep -E "libapr|libasound|libglib"
You should see output similar to:
libapr-1.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapr-1.so.0
libasound.so.2 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libasound.so.2
libglib-2.0.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0
If you see them, the libraries are correctly installed.
