Hi,  
I need to run a program from a no root user, this program defend from  
some shared library .so .  
This library is located in the dir /home/lupin/lib,  
i try to do:

export LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH=$LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH:/home/lupin/lib  
export LD\_LIBRARYN32\_PATH=$LD\_LIBRARYN32\_PATH;/home/lupin/lib

but i always have this message: “error while loading shared libraries:  
libsched.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”

libsched.so is in the /home/lupin/lib directory.  
if i do the same operation with root user all work properly.  
What is the problem?  
i don’t want to use LD\_RUNPATH environmental variable.  
Which kind of environmental variable i have to set???

Thanks
