Copy and save the list of packages, or get it from the log file using

echo $(cat /var/log/dpkg.log|grep install|grep -v half-installed|grep 16-04-03|cut -d" " -f5|cut -d":" -f1)
                                                    add the date here ^^^^^^^^

and later paste it to

sudo apt-get purge <list of packages>

be careful, but consider to run

sudo apt-get autoremove

too

As already pointed out by my other reply ldconfig isn't needed to
access the plugins. However, ldconfig doesn't provide output, this is
normal.

Uninstall everything you compiled on your own...

...and follow the advice to install the Ubuntu packages, as mentioned
by Andreas and Paul.
