Examine it with the command
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
If you're using the bash shell, you can prepend to it by giving the command
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/some/new/directory:$(LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
If you're using tcsh, use
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /some/new/directory:$(LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
This command will only affect your current process and its children (i.e.,
commands you launch from it). If you want this to be "permanent", you should
put it in a script somewhere. For instance, /etc/rc.local if it should be
used for everything, or the file .profile (bash) or .login (tcsh) in a user's
home directory if it is just for that user.
Cheers,
Eric
