[X2Go-User] x2go overwrites LD_LIBRARY_PATH

[Thomas Stephan]

Hi,

I am using x2go to connect to machines running Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS. I had 
trouble running commands that rely on finding libraries via the 
environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set in a script in /etc/profile.d because this is a 
system wide configuration and it needs to be performed once per login. 
Using ssh to remote login, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is correct:

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib/fsl/5.0

When I login using x2go, LD_LIBRARY_PATH seems to be reset and contains 
only the entries regarding x2go:

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib/nx/X11/Xinerama:/usr/lib/nx/X11

My guess is that there is probably an error in /usr/bin/x2goruncommand, 
along these lines:

test -n "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" && \
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$NX_XINERAMA_LIBS:$NX_LIBS:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" || \
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$NX_XINERAMA_LIBS:$NX_LIBS"
"$X2GO_LIB_PATH/x2gosyslog" "$0" "debug" "exporting 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

But I can not see why it is that my path only contains 
$NX_XINERAMA_LIBS:$NX_LIBS, and not 
$NX_XINERAMA_LIBS:$NX_LIBS:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Thank you for your help!

Best
Thomas
