Hi Tomás and thanks for the quick reply. I tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
using $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/dll-files (and then checking with
$ echo LD_LIBRARY_PATH that it "stuck"), but the process still cannot
find the DLL files. I am starting the process with strace so I am sure
this is the problem, not something else. I guess I could temporarily
modify the PATH but I'm interested in alternatives.
