Is there a similar problem with LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

For example
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib      gramps
doesn't pick up libgoocanvas-2 libraries, so there's no 
Graph View, though I have four libraries in /usr/local/lib.

This command *does* however pick up the libosmgpsmap 
libraries there and gives me the Geography View.
