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.

$ gnunet-arm -I
should show you the running services. You can "inspect" each service using
respective command-line tools (see docs).
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.

Even better!
Good luck and have fun ;)
