On Sun/Linux I would do the following
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ~/Development/lib:/sw/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

I keep getting

Welcome to Darwin!
LD_LIBRARY_PATH: Undefined variable.

It's telling the truth. ;-) Since LD_LIBRARY_PATH might not already be set, you can do something like this:

if ( $?LD_LIBRARY_PATH ) then
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ~/Development/lib:/sw/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
else
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ~/Development/lib:/sw/lib
endif
