Because starting from the command bar doesn't inherit the shell
environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH... it never even runs the shell, just
the Emacs executable directly.

Try putting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in your .login and logging out and in. The
entire session should inherit the variable then. You can always check
within IDL like:

IDL> print,getenv('LD_LIBRARY_PATH')
