May I know why? /usr/local/lib may be a better place. Better you put following
line in your shell startup srcipt like .bash_profile

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:~/lib

Shall I say what you need to do additionally?

Not required if you export LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Sure but it's not a good/safe practice to fiddle around system directories with
your development work. You are excused in /usr/local. So make it world writable
and own it to some user. No problem. But please don't advise to mess around /lib
etc...

And BTW, I think the message was bit too long. It could have been trimmed a bit
more.. :-))
