Set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH
As of Ubuntu 9.04 if you want to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH on ubuntu everytime you computer loads it is no longer possible to do by adding it to /etc/environments or your profile.
Instead if you wish to add paths you need to do the following.
Firstly open a terminal.
Now that you have a terminal run the following command:
sudo gedit /etc/ld/so/conf.d/myexports.conf
in the file that opens up insert the path of whatever location you wish to add to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
You can add as many paths as you want but there has to only be a single path per line.
Once you have done this close the file and then run the following command:
sudo ldconfig -v
That should update and then printout all of the paths. The one you just added should be in there somewhere.
Well that's it, hopefully that should work every time.
