After you pointed this out, I tried. But this doesn't help. I can set 
the PATH variable with os.putenv, but in the notebook, there is no 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the os.environ list. It is there in the console 
version of ipython, so I am pretty sure that this issue is not related 
to the core of ipython.

Even if I explicitly issue

os.system('export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH')
or
os.putenv('LD_LIBRARY_PATH','/usr/local/cuda/lib64')

in the notebook, that doesn't change the situation.

Given this, should I just open an issue?
Cheers,
Zoltán
