Don't know, but a better approach would be to add it to /etc/ld.so.conf, so
that ld find's those libs automatically. This way you add the path to a
standard location, and don't have to fiddle around with environmant
variables.
Yes, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is also a standard way of setting where lib's are
located, but *I* like /etc/ld.so.conf more.
