I try to never use LD_LIBRARY_PATH and think it's a bad crutch 
to rely on.

You can set the runtime shared library search path into the 
library at link time to resolve the dependencies at runtime. 
That's the method I prefer.

You can pass those parameters to configure when using 
autoconf/automake/libtool.
