   LD_LIBRARY_PATH only read by dlinker on program startup. If you LATER
(i.e., inside your program) change the value of this variable, its new
value will have meaning only to program that will be started from your
script by os.system. You should set a value for LD_LIBRARY_PATH BEFORE your
program begins.
