From my experience, the need for "ldconfig" is not unusual (if you have installed it from source). So no output after the "ps" command I assume? Can you check ~/.cache/gnunet/ for logs? Also, it seems like you run gnunet as root. It would be better if you run it as a user, e.g. gnunet. > Well, I don't know what GNUNET is doing right now.

To check if you are connected with any other peers, run $ gnunet-core If that does not output anything, there is a problem with connectivity -> check logs. > > With my GNUNET peer, I'd like to increase the number of peers on the network > (in order to make the network better).
