Thanks to all who gave good tips about the matter. In
my system (Xubuntu 6.0x) the file is located in
/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc. I copied the code in
.bash_profile that tests for existence of a user
configuration file (I copied, because I don't know the
syntax) and imported a .xinitrc file that I saved in
my home directory, in which I exported the library
path. Worked like a charm just like I wanted it. Now I
don't need to install the library using ldconfig.
Actually this is my PC, so i don't need at all any of
these, but you know, man is made of curiosity :)

Thanks to all of you again!

Regards,
N.
