You surely can, but it obviously can not apply to the program that was
just started, because that is only used when loading dynlibs at startup.
But it will apply to any child started from there on, by the app that
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

in C you use setenv(name, value, Bool overwrite);
in a shell script it's even easier.

if the app itself needs a modified LD_LIBRARY_PATH, then you have no
way but to use dynlibs loaded at runtime.
