This is the reason why it is rather problematic to have LD_LIBRARY_PATH
set as a developer, it is much better to tell the linker via the run
path option where to find the modules at runtime as to rely on
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If I encounter a program that forces me to the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I commonly wrap up the call to the program in a script
that sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH just before calling the program. This way
the environment stays clean.
