What is LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable for?

T.BoydNov 23 2011 — edited Nov 24 2011

DB Version : 11.2
OS : Oracle Solaris 10

Why do we set LD_LIBRARY_PATH ?

If my ORACLE_HOME is

$ echo $ORACLE_HOME
/u01/oracle/11g/db

Is this all I need to set for LD_LIBRARY_PATH ?

$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/u01/oracle/11g/db/lib

What could happen if I don't set LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable or if set it incorrectly ?
