I have set up a 'texworks' command like this, locally:

    #!/bin/sh
    # find me
    MYEXE=`which texworks`
    BINDIR=`pathname $MYEXE`
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$BINDIR/../tw-dir
    $BINDIR/../tw-dir/texworks "$@"

and in tw-dir/, I have the compiled executable texworks as well as 
hunspell, poppler and Qt4 .so libs. This mimics the windows approach
of having local dynamic libraries, and it seems to work.

Best wishes,
Taco
