On HPUX 11+, LD_LIBRARY_PATH also works because they moved to an ELF based system from their own object file format. And, of course, under Solaris and Linux (which are both ELF based systems) LD_LIBRARY_PATH works. Some of the other more esoteric ELF variables, like LD_PRELOAD, may not be supported under HPUX 11+ or AIX. At the company I work for, we port to all three major Unixes (but not Linux yet, sadly) and Windows NT.
