You can't change it, but there are some environment variables that you 
can set to "modify" it: beginlibpath and endlibpath.  These do what they 
suggest; they add subdirs to the beginning and end of the lib search -- 
but only have the scope of the current command line session.  They do 
work well for me when I need them though <g>.
