Bad LD_LIBRARY_PATH in freeorion

[launchy]

The freeorion game (from the freeorion package) won't start on Linux Mint 17 'Qiana' on x86-64. (Expected: It runs ;-)) Trying to run it from a terminal gives:

$ freeorion
CWD: /usr/share/games/freeorion
main() caught exception(std::exception): OGRE EXCEPTION(7:InternalErrorException): Could not load dynamic library RenderSystem_GL. System Error: RenderSystem_GL.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in DynLib::load at /build/buildd/ogre-1.8-1.8.1+dfsg/OgreMain/src/OgreDynLib.cpp (line 93)

RenderSystem_GL.so is in the libogre package, which is installed, but it's not found because the dynamic linker doesn't know how to find it.

Suggested fix for the runner script in /usr/games/freeorion:

That's a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freeorion/+bug/1292308

This is already fixed in the latest version of FreeOrion in Ubuntu 14.04. Please ask the developers of Linux Mint to sync the package.
