I typically set this in my .bashrc. This is out of habbit from my Solaris
desktop days, where I ran fvwm. Fvwm needed access to some shared libraries
and I didn't have root permissions on the system to drop the libraries into
/lib. So, I dropped them in ~/lib, edited my .bashrc and all was well.
These days, I do a lot of JNI (Java's Native Interface) programming, and
need to tweak LD_LIBRARY_PATH for each JDK that I work with. Editing the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH entry in .bashrc and sourcing it (. ~/.bashrc) is part of my
daily routine.
If you want to make the variable more global to users, put an
LD_LIBRARY_PATH entry in the global bash_profile.
YMMV.

I know about that, but where is the VARIABLE set? It seem sit should be
somewhere. Where is it?
