LD_LIBRARY_PATH is an environment variable set of directories separated by colons. This is where any library should be searched for before accessing the standard set of directories for search. This is especially useful when the user is using a non-standard or general library for any special purposes or when a new library is being debugged. A different library can be substituted for the execution of this command particularly.
