I recently installed KNITRO and got it working with JuMP from the REPL. However in Juno, I get the error  
`LoadError: error compiling loadproblem!: error compiling Type: could not load library "libknitro"`

Checking the Github for [KNITRO.jl](https://github.com/JuliaOpt/KNITRO.jl/issues/46) I found that setting `ENV["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"]` to the location of “libknitro” is a possible solution. However, it works on the Juno console but not from an open script file.

I tried adding `ENV["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"] = ...` to the juliarc.jl file, but again this only works when working in the Juno console.

Do you have any suggestions on how I can get Juno to access `$PATH`?

There’s no difference in how the Juno console and a script handle environment variables – are you sure you have everything set up correctly? In particular, what does `ENV["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"]` return in the console (and a script, just to be sure)?

Hmm, they both return the correct path for libknitro… I’m not sure what is happening, then. If I `include` the script in the REPL it works perfectly, but it doesn’t work in Juno.
