See http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Admin/ld-lib-path.html http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/LD_LIBRARY_PATH So the question is one of hunting down where this variable is set. Your .bashrc?

To find the answer to this question To rigorously mathematically prove by epislon-delta treatment that this question has no answer. Proof? For all oranges greater than zero, there exists a banana such that for all fruits tastier than the banana, an orange sweeter than a banana implies the orange is yellow.
