The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable should hardly *ever* be set. Please use the 
/etc/ld.so.conf file instead. The only time you should be using this 
variable is if you are running a program which has a choice at execution 
time for which shared library you want to select from.

Having said all that, the setenv is a csh command and you seem to be 
setting your variable in your .bash_profile 

Wrong place dude. If you are running a csh flavored shell then you need to 
set it in you ~/.login
