The result should actually be the same. Maybe there was a typo when
you set the path in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, this can easily happen (see
above, the config file is actually /etc/ld.so.conf.... ;-)

By the way, if you want to know how loading libraries works, have a
look at this HOWTO (section 3):

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/Program-Library-HOWTO.html

(this and more documentation can be found at "The Linux Documentation
Project": http://www.tldp.org/)

Then you actually do use LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
