[rescue] Grrr.... GTK+

[Drew Schatt]

I've found it better on my machines to set each user (or even globally) to
have LDFLAGS set, which is usually picked up during the configuration and
sets the -R (Run time library path flag) appropriately.   Mine is set to:
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib
which works much better for me.  Avoid LD_LIBRARY_PATH like the plague if
possible, if it must be set, set it temporarily or in a shell script that
then launches the program.
