Depending on your OS you may have an /etc/ld.so.conf file.
Simply add what you normally put in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH into that file.
Then do a ldconfig -v as root (-v optional but you can see it working) and
the libs will be available without the var set.  This is what I do on my
linux systems and it works well.

On my solaris systems I've stuck with what the set up created before I got
here. A shell script is called by all users logins.  It defines the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH for everyone when they log in.  I have no idea if there is
a better way as this works so I've never bothered to mess with it.
