I've been busy too... sorry for the late reply. Anyway, I'm already doing what you suggest, that is: exporting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH from within a shell script in /etc/profile.d. And although the environment variable is indeed set when I open a terminal window, it is not set when the mongrel_rails processes are started as a service. So if I remove the related line from the mongrel_rails script, they are no longer able to access the database.
Anyone has an idea how to set an environment variable that is visible to a service upon startup?
