problem with LD_LIBRARY_PATH

[Sean Proctor <sproctor ccs neu edu>]

using debian 3.0r0 LD_LIBRARY_PATH seems to not be able to be exported
from gdm.  I made an entry Gnome2 (just a copy of Gnome) and put in (from
the faq):
PATH=/home/sproctor/garnome/bin:$PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/sproctor/garnome/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
GDK_USE_XFT=1
export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH GDK_USE_XFT
gnomesession="/home/sproctor/garnome/bin/gnome-session
--purge-delay=15000"

PATH and GDK_USE_XFT both get set.  LD_LIBRARY_PATH gets unset sometime
between there and the end of starting X.  Anyone else having this problem
or know a solution?

(I'll try puttind LD_LIBRARY_PATH in my .bashrc for now)

thanks,
Sean

PS I wrote this a few days ago, but my mail server was down.  I just tried
installing glade with nothing else compiled.  gnome-desktop (the garball,
not meta-garball) failed to build.  building gnome-desktop first solved
that problem (no idea why, maybe it was a freak occurance).  that was
irrelevent.  my point is glade won't install. here's the error:

there's an index.html but not .sgml
