Research direction

The report names no source file or test. Start by reproducing python -m arrayfire.tests with the reported LD_LIBRARY_PATH, then inspect how the Python bindings locate ArrayFire libraries. Done means the test command loads the libraries successfully; the issue provides no further acceptance details.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I have include export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ztzhao/Downloads/arrayfire/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH in my ~/.bashrc, but when I want to run python -m arrayfire.tests it still can not load arrayfire libraries.
