LIBPATH is the problem. PATH is not an issue.

Warpzilla is easy to use. In this case it's fiddling that's the problem,
it's IBMs installation style. Almost all of the IBM provided installers
blindly add a reference to the front of LIBPATH without considering the
effects. Usually the effects are irrelevant. IWB is different because
it's basically an older version of Mozilla. The shared code is no longer
compatible with current Mozilla code, so they can't be mixed at runtime.

HTH,
