I'm not saying it doesn't work.  But properly compiled programs for
Solaris include the run time paths to the libraries so an LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable is not required.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is interesting to test out new versions of support
libraries without actually having to recompile, so it has it's uses.
but too often, folks use LD_LIBRARY_PATH as a panacea on Solaris
to fix poorly compiled programs.
