LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Often gets changed with customization, this is the path to search for shared libraries at run time. Frankly I'm not sure how this interacts with OSX library search mechanism, but if your X11 app uses special libraries, chances are they are in this path.

On MacOSX, this one is called DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and, in general, it is not needed and it is not a good idea to use it unless you know exactly what you are doing, because it confuses the normal working of the library search mechanism.

See: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/DynamicLibraries/Articles/DynamicLibraryUsageGuidelines.html


Good to know. Thanks! --MAZ
