this is an example for sh/bash. in your kindness you should also adapt it for ksh / csh

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.
When packaging you should add a file to /etc/ld.so.conf.d [1, 2] or possibly use an RPATH [3] rather than editing environment variables.
