Sudo giving dyld problem. Help for a beginner

sudoterminal

I am new to using a macbook terminal. Initially when I used the terminal for working on Raspberry Pi everything was great. But now when I try to use the terminal and type
sudo
it keeps giving a dyld message. And also rejects my commands. The message is :

dyld: DYLD_ environment variables being ignored because main executable (/usr/bin/sudo) is setuid or setgid

Password:

what do I do? And why has this message started appearing all of a sudden?
Can anyone give a step by step guide on stopping this
Thanks a lot:)

On the short term, within a Terminal enter:

unset DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH

and check that:

/usr/bin/sudo

is working.

Your description let think of an installer which modified your working environment in closed relationship with the X11 environment.

To further analyze where this problem is coming, within a Terminal search which initialisation file might be working on this environment variable:

grep DYLD ${HOME}/.profile ${HOME}/.bash_profile ${HOME}/.bashrc

If you are using anything else than sh or bash as your working shell, search inside the equivalent initialisation files.
