I discovered that the inferior debugger (gdb) reads your .cshrc
file every time you issue the 'run' command. I did not know that,
and I had some code in my .cshrc file that would set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. 

So no matter what I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to in the debugger,
it was silently changed back everytime I issued the 'run'
command. The problem was fixed when I fixed up my .cshrc
file.

Perhaps this is your problem?
