the problem is named in the subject - TSystem::Load doesn't scan LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Find the confirmation below - observed on SGI IRIX 6.2 with gcc-compiled ROOT.
It is true that ROOT documentation doesn't specify if TSystem::Load is supposed
to scan directories in LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or LIBPATH on AIX), however it would be
a very helpful feature.
