Yeah -- run "ldconfig" as root in the window you wish to run gschem.
Either that or reboot.  The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable only tells Linux
where to look for .so files.  It doesn't tell Linux to actually go out
and find them.  You have to run ldconfig to get Linux to refresh the
cache of .so files it knows about.
