In my test chroots at least it starts sucessfully using the init script
but fails to start with the error the submitter gives if I try to launch
it directly. It seems inspircd is intended to be started through an init
script and relies on that init script to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH before
launching the IRCD.

I'm not sure this is a bug and it certainly doesn't seem to be a grave
one. You shouldn't really be starting daemons directly anyway since it
will mean the init script can't find them to shut down or restart.
