If you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, you also need to export it, this will only
be exported to the user session you are logged in with. So if a test
does something like spawn its own shell, it may not inherit the setting.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is more for testing. You should make sure /etc/ld.so.conf
has /usr/local included. If not, add it and run "ldconfig" to update the
linker cache. Some distros do not have /usr/local set as a default path.

Then have a look at http://www.visi.com/~barr/ldpath.html

Cheers,
