    <p>I've always set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and I've never had a problem.</p> <p>To quote you first link:</p> <blockquote> <p>When should I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH? The short answer is never. Why? <strong>Some users seem to set this environment variable because of bad advice from other users or badly linked code that they do not know how to fix.</strong> </p> </blockquote> <p>That is <strong>NOT</strong> what I call a definitive problem statement. In fact it brings to mind <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4tZRZSGxcE" rel="nofollow noreferrer">I don't like it</a>. [YouTube, but SFW].</p> <hr> <p>That second blog entry (<a href="http://blogs.oracle.com/ali/entry/avoiding_ld_library_path_the" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://blogs.oracle.com/ali/entry/avoiding_ld_library_path_the</a>) is much more forthcoming on the nature of the problem... which appears to be, in a nutshell, library version clashes ThisProgram requires Foo1.2, but ThatProgram requires Foo1.3, hence you can't run both programs (easily). Note that most of these problems are negated by a simple wrapper script which sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for just the executing shell, which is (almost always) a separate child process of interactive shell. </p> <p>Note also that the alternatives are pretty well explained in the post.</p> <p>I'm just confused as to why you would post a question containing links to articles which apparently answer your question... Do you have a specific question which wasn't covered (clearly enough) in either of those articles?</p>
