Defines search paths to find shared libraries on UNIX™ platforms.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable defines the list of search paths for shared libraries loaded by the dynamic linker on UNIX platforms.
On some operating systems, the environment variable defining the shared library search path may have a different name. For example, on a system where a 32-bit and a 64-bit environment coexist, you may need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 to execute the 64-bit programs. On HP/UX, you must set SHLIB_PATH. On AIX®, use LIBPATH. On Mac OS/X, use DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
