I am having a problem using dynamic libraries with programs running
as root (either as setuid or in a root shell). I am finding that the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH value that should be set is lost, and I can only run the
program if I manually set it (in the root shell). If I am running with
setuid permissions (owner root) then I can't set it at all.

How can I fix this??

Thanks,
