EESSI cannot be activated when LD_LIBRARY_PATH is defined

Hi,

While testing EESSI in a shell session inside Rstudio server I realized that loading EESSI would not work.

After some debug with the help of Bob and Kenneth in slack we realized the problem was that Rstudio defines env var

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/R/lib:/lib:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/lib/server

After unsetting LD_LIBRARY_PATH the EESSI soft stack can be loaded as usual.

The base OS was Ubuntu 24.04 and Rstudio server and R were installed as deb packages.

For reference, this is the error I was getting (notice the errors

symbol lookup error:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: undefined symbol: __tunable_is_initialized, version GLIBC_PRIVATE)
