After a little tinkering, I figured out that I needed to specifiy the path for
the command
ldconfig -v
Thus, the correct command (for this case) is:
ldconfig -v /usr/local/lib
I am able to start the program.
Thank you for your help.

Subject: [Scid-users] installing SCID: cannot open shared library
thank you for the reply!
[Note: I already removed all symlinks and reinstalled SCID.]
I followed your suggestion and now I have these two lines in /etc/ld.so.conf.
The file and the first line already existed. I added the second line.
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
include /usr/local/lib
Then I ldconfig -v
I log out of the terminal and exit terminal. Then I start terminal. As user or
as root I still get,
when I try to run SCID:
/usr/local/bin/tkscid: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.5.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Please advise,
thank you!

Urgh. No.

No need to do broken things like symlinking libs. Two
possibilities:
/usr/local/lib
is not in your libpath. In that case /etc/ld.so.conf or in
more recent vesions of linux /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf is
your friend. Add the path to that file (one path per line)
and run
ldconfig -v
You need to be root for this, of course. Be careful what you
do as root. For editors you have THE editor available for
sure (ie. vi) or you have to fiddle around with (IMHO silly)
things like nano.
This should solve those problems once and for all system
wide. (Ie. the unix way.)
Alternatively, in case you want to fix it on per user level
(no really good idea for /usr/local/lib) you may
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_RUN_PATH
