What I ended up doing was the following

in these scripts index.cgi, restart.cgi, start.cgi, status.cgi, stop.cgi I
added the following code

$ENV{'LD=5FLIBRARY=5FPATH'} =3D"/usr/local/lib";

before the call to the binary program

Not knowing webmin at all I had already tried adding to the webmin startup
script, to a couple of webmin perl routines which seem to be called by most=
 of
the code but none of these worked.

It would be useful if this could be added as some sort of config option

On a slightly different matter I editted the webmin config file by hand to=
 set
the variables, but was puzzled to see that they did not appear to have any
affect , it was not until I used the webmin option to configure dansguardian
that the variables seemed to work, is this normal webmin behaviour or am I
missing a step somewhere=3F
