Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xterm
To make shared libraries available locally to programs launched from
xterm, it is usual to place
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH= path to libraries
in either.bash_profile or .bashrc, or in /etc/profile.
This works in most linux distributions, but not, as often reported, in
Debian and Ubuntu. When xterm is launched it wipes LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
In addition xterm ignores additional paths to libraries in
/etc/ld.so.conf.
The only way I have found to solve this problem is to place links to
libraries in /usr/lib, which is a nuisance.
Does anyone know how to stop xterm doing this?
N.B. gnome-terminal works properly if launched as a login shell.
** Affects: xterm (Ubuntu)
