I regret I cannot give you specific advice, as I am not familiar with your
application. In general terms, though, when I face what may be similar
problems, I create a shell script that acts as a wrapper to the program I
want to run. It sets and exports the needed environment variables, then runs
the actual program. Perhaps that approach, or a variant of it, will work for
you.
Good luck.
