You shouldn't need to do that, though it would probably work. What you could
try instead would be to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the Apache startup script:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

Apache would be started by a script in /etc. It ought to be in /etc/init.d
(or maybe /etc/rc.d/init.d), with links to the runlevel startup directories,
e.g. /etc/rc2.d or /etc/rc3.d (or maybe /etc/rc.d/rc2.d, etc) depending on
where the distro guys thought would be a good place. I don't have a RedHat
system handy right now, and I think it changes from time to time anyway.
