[Nix-dev] Extra dependencies for Steam games?

[Mike Cooper]

Thanks Nikolay, that was the problem. SHENZHEN I/O has a launcher script
with the line

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$STEAM_LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I replaced that with

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$STEAM_LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

and everything is working fine now.
