Error while loading shared libraries when compiling a SFML 2.0 project

Question

I tried to compile sfml 2.0. At first I wrote this command:

g++ -c sprite.cpp -I sfml/include

Every files are on my desktop now and the folder that contains the sfml files is called sfml and it is on my desktop also.

After this command, I wrote:

g++ -o sprite sprite.o -L sfml/lib -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system

After this, I simply did:

./sprite

The problem is here. When I try to run it i get:

./sprite: error while loading shared libraries: libsfml-graphics.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The loader could not find the library libsfml-graphics.so.2. It seems that this library is located under sfml/lib.
Once solution consists in adding the location to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH and exporting it before running your executable:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:sfml/lib
