If I start Julia with:

`LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" LD_PRELOAD="" Julia`

then the output of:

```julia
using Libdl
filter!(lib -> occursin("glib", lib), dllist())

```

is:

```julia
String[]

```

This is consistent with what should happen when clearing the LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH env variable. I have discovered the reason why I was getting the error before. The LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH variable was being set improperly (or not at all). Prepending /lib to LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH solved my problem.
