Are you sure it didn't say "/usr/openwin/lib" ?

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH is an environment variable of your shell (probably CSH or
TCSH) which is normally set in the .cshrc (.tcshrc) or/and .login and contains
all the pathnames of the directories, where the system libraries reside, for
example the X11 libs which contain all the standard libs for the X-environment.

This LD_LIBRARY_PATH should contain the /usr/openwin/lib so GRASS is able to
find the necessary libs.

To check, if the given directory already is in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH type

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH 

under csh/tcsh and you get something like
/usr/lib:/usr/lang/SC0.0:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/local/gnu/gcc-2.7.2/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3/2.7.2/:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/gnu/lib/:/usr/local/Motif/MOTIF12/lib/:/usr/local/gnu/gcc-2.7.2/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3/2.7.2/

If there no /usr/openwin/lib in it add

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/openein/lib"

to your .login or .cshrc and start a new shell to let the change have effect.

Ciao, Ulf
