As far as I understand, and I can be quite wrong here, files such as
oils_cstore.so are more like plugins. As such it makes no sense to even have
ldconfig pick them up.

Compiling the application with -rpath to the location of the shared objects.

You can set the variable in the mean time if you like, just make sure it's not
set globally, but only for your scripts starting OpenILS.
