LD_LIBRARY_PATH ; to set or not to set....

When I do that the symlinks are created and ldconfig -p seems to have
them in there. I end up with this in /usr/local/lib/ar63:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 3202324 May 17 08:17 libar.a

I've restarted the application service but it still complains about the
missing library. 

So as a test I opened a terminal window, stopped the service, manually
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/ar63;export LD_LIBRARY_PATH, then ran
the application in the terminal window and not as a service. Still
didn't work!

So, then I copied all the original .so and .so.28 back into that
directory, restarted the application, and it works again. 
I currently have this in /usr/local/lib/ar63:

Any ideas on what I'm still doing incorrectly?
