The *important* question, of course, is why do you need to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

You can do this either in your shell startup scripts, or in
/etc/login.conf (for all users), but please before you do,
read the post at:

It's a post I recently made to comp.unix.solaris with a detailed comment
about LD_LIBRARY_PATH usage in Solaris, but similar things apply to
programs compiled and installed on FreeBSD too.

HTH,
