LD_LIBRARY_PATH is an environment variable. When you run a compiled program it may require that LD_LIBRAY_PATH be defined because the compile program uses some "different" runtime libraries.

Programs may use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to find shared libraries.

It is not necessarily required. And possibly may break something if you are not careful. Why do you ask?
