from "man ld.so"
ENVIRONMENT
       LD_LIBRARY_PATH
              A  colon-separated  list of directories in which to
              search for ELF libraries at execution-time.   Simi­
              lar to the PATH environment variable.


So, assuming you are running bash:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$PWLIBDIR/lib


If you want that to run every time you log in, you can put it in your
~/.bash_profile.
