Setting environment variables for libraries

[Thomas Milne]

Now that I'm using Debian I _try_ to do things the proper way, so
right now I'm trying to set it up so that I can use some custom built
libs in /usr/local.

I checked in ld.so.conf and ld.so.conf.d, not sure what to mess with
in there, or if I even should.

I'm thinking this is one of those things I can 'set', but I"ve never
done this before.

Is it safe to just run something like LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib,
or will I make things worse?
