Yes, it was 7 months ago, but then I couldn't find a good answer...

Because it isn't there by default...

doesn't work either... The first time one uses this command,
should be to confirm the system default:

# crle -l /usr/lib

That creates a configuration file that is compatible with the
default behaviour. Next command most probably is

# crle -u -l /usr/local/lib

That adds a path which is good for most GNU stuff. Repeat
the above steps replacing "crle -64" for "crle" and
specifying the sparcv9 directories, if you run 64 bits arch.

I should recall that crle is cleaner than LD_LIBRARY_PATH
because the latter also affects compile-time linking. And
both are better than using the -R compile time flag since
they keep the flexibility that shared objects deserve.
