When you start the FGS's Apache, LD_LIBRARY_PATH has to be set with the
path to the FGS's lib directory ($FGS_HOME/lib). This is done by the
setenv.sh script:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$FGS_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

You could try to source setenv.sh ($ . setenv.sh) just before starting
your webserver.
