No, remove the shell script & just execute
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Path/Ecl/lib
at your shell prompt, and then ecl can run successfully.
There is some better way to solve this problem via a program named
libtool, but I don't know how to use it, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH should
solve the problem (although it is clumsy).

Please try the suggestion above & let me know if it doesn't help.
