Thanks for the quick response and suggestions!

Using tcsh, do not think variables should/can be exported there.

It is a symbolic link, but to something that is there; I can actually 
cat the binary file.

So it seems to be something else. I could be something stupid with 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which is not supposed to be a good way to do things. 
However, it should work for testing like this.
