    Shell scripts expect variables to be set in the pattern of:

    VARIABLE=value
    

    You can’t have any additional = signs in there. However, you can execute other scripts like this:

    VARIABLE=$(basename $1)
    VARIABLE=`basename $1`
    

    Either one works.

    In your case, I can’t tell what you’re doing, but it isn’t right at all. My guess is that you need to do this:

    env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(basename $1)
