LD_LIBRARY_PATH is an environment variable used for debugging a new library or a non-standard library. It is also used to identify the directories that need to be searched for; in order to do this, the path to search for the directories needs to be specified.
The variable can be set using the following:
setenv—LD_LIBRARY_PATH--$PATH
It is used to search for the shared objects/dynamic libraries by the operating system for extendable functionality at the runtime.
