I've seen people say that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not the "right" way to get a library into your path, but if you are a user and you don't have access to ld.so.conf, but you need a library in some obscure subdirectory (maybe one of your own that shouldn't pollute ld.so.conf anyway), what *is* the "right" way.
I think LD_LIBRARY_PATH stay the right way in some cases, for exemple when using various versions of Oracle's library. Ex : Database server Oracle using 10.2.0.1 but apache+php+oci using 10.1.0.3 (from instantclient).
Remi.
