can't find shared libraries in gdb

can't find shared libraries in gdb

[yinglcs]

Hi,
I run my program under Gdb. But i get the following error saying it 
can't find the shared libraries:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/yinglcs/src/firefox1.5/dist/bin/firefox-bin
/home/yinglcs/src/firefox1.5/dist/bin/firefox-bin: error while loading 
shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such 
file or directory

But I check there is a soft link in the same directory as the 
executable and it points to a vaild file.
Can you please tell me how to fix this problem so that I can run my 
problem under gdb?

[yinglcs@localhost bin]$ ls -la libmozjs.so
lrwxrwxrwx  1 yinglcs yinglcs 24 Dec 15 09:47 libmozjs.so -> 
../../js/src/libmozjs.so*

[yinglcs@localhost bin]$ ls -la ../../js/src/libmozjs.so
-rwxrwxr-x  1 yinglcs yinglcs 1845285 Dec 15 09:47 
../../js/src/libmozjs.so*

Does it run outside of GDB?

If so, it is likely that your shell startup files (.profile, .bashrc,
et cetera) are clobbering your LD_LIBRARY_PATH settings.

What OS is that, what version of GDB, and how it was configured in
terms of host and target?  In short, what does GDB display when you
start it?
