But more importantly to this discussion, it uses its own dynamic linker - dyld.  LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't do anything on OS X.  Saying it does doesn't make it so.  The equivalent environment vars are DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH.  Again, a quick look at the dyld man page would have told you that.

I'm pulling this from another source.  Thank you for the correction.  
I'll give the source a pointer in the right direction.  I guess I'm 
mixing Solaris/RedHat and Macs again...(Apples and whatever.)

Interestingly enough, LD_LIBRARY_PATH seems to work on my Mac.  I'll fix 
that though.
