  Really, you shouldn't have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
/etc/ld.so.conf.  If you set LD_RUN_PATH during compilation (for
Solaris and Linux; other variables for other systems), and/or the -R
optionm then the executable will have the proper search path embedded
in it.

  Check out http://www.visi.com/~barr/ldpath.html and
http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/user_guide/faq/ld_lib_path.html.

  I might submit a patch for this in the next few days, depending on
how much time I have.
