It shouldn't be necessary to set any environment variables. Because
you're able to run lou_allround I assume your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
are correct. LOUIS_TABLEPATH is only needed if you want to use tables
that are not in the default location.
Maybe the problem is that you're using /usr/bin/lou_allround? Did that
come from running sudo make install? Normally the tools should be
installed in /usr/local/bin/.
