Thanks. This fixed it. However, I see two problems with the code in
the 2.0 branch:
  1. A `:' is the first character in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. On some systems,
     this means use the current directory.
  2. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable ends without separating temp_rpath
     with a `:' from `LD_LIBRARY_PATH'.

I'm hoping I didn't backport the patch to our 1.5 branch wrong.
