I'm not on Solaris, but I notice in my dbstart, it is saving whatever LD_LIBRARY_PATH is sent through, then setting it's own, based on $ {ORACLE_HOME}/lib. So what I ran into was it wasn't picking up the ORACLE_HOME properly with an su - , I had to pass that in explicitly as a parameter to dbstart.
Of course, I'm not afraid to futz with rc, sbin or dbstart files until they work, be sure you and any sysadmins are on the same page about these kinds of things.
