I usually use crle so that all programs will find the libraries I use. 
Typically I will run crle to see the current paths then run crle -l 
/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib + whatever other paths I need. My current Ultra2 
workstation shows me this with crle:


Configuration file [version 3]: /var/ld/ld.config
   Default Library Path (ELF): 
/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/csw/lib:/opt/sfw/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib
   Trusted Directories (ELF):	/usr/lib/secure  (system default)

Command line:
   crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l 
/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/csw/lib:/opt/sfw/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib
