You could set environment variables using the SetEnv directive in 
httpd.conf, but don't do that.  You need to replicate the bug at the 
command line, so you should not try changing your web server but instead 
try to emulate the web environment in your command line shell.  If you 
don't know how to set an env. var in Apache then it probably doesn't 
have an LD_LIBRARY_PATH set.  So you could do the following:

   su             (to become root)
   su - apache    (you shouldn't need a password since you're root)
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=    (yes, we want it empty)

...then run your mapserv command
