this is an example for sh/bash. in your kindness you should also adapt
it for ksh / csh
#! /bin/bash
export PATH=$PATH:/my/new/folder/
export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/new/path/to/be/added/to/this/variable
Mind that adding a global LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not at all a good idea
(it might interfere with other existing applications) so you'd better
just provide a script, available in the normal path of the users, which
would set this variable only when needed and for the period of time that
is needed.
