Great, thanks a lot for the exhaustive tutorial! With NaoQI 1.12.3 I use the separate Python SDK, and with that I don't need to touch any LD_LIBRARY_PATH for starting the nodes (even works with 64 bit Ubuntu). If extracted to ~/naoqi/pynaoqi-python-2.7-naoqi-1.12.3, then I only need to add that path to my PYTHONPATH, no LD_LIBRARY_PATH required. After starting the launch files one by one, it's probably worth noting the "all in one" teleop_nao_sim.launch in nao_remote as well.
