Ah, my mistake: I forgot that this legacy symlink still exists.
Everything is alright.

Have you put the command to source this config file into .bashrc or
another startup file? I would remove that and use a simple wrapper like
this:
#!/bin/sh
source /usr/local/bin/acusim/LINUX64/V1.7e/script/.acusim-sh
/path/to/the/command/that/starts/acuSim
Put the above three lines into a file that you call, for example,
my-acusim. (Replace the last line with the correct command to start the
application, of course.) Make this file executable and put it into
/usr/local/bin (system wide) or ~/bin (only for your user). Then you can
use the command "my-acusim" to start the programm. It will run with the
correct environmental variables while the rest of your system should
remain unaffected.
