[fpc-pascal] Testing shared libraries compiled with FPC/Lazarus under Linux

[patspiper]

Is it possible to test a shared library compiled with Lazarus/FPC under 
Linux without copying that library to /usr/lib or fiddling with the OS 
configuration to locate them?

Under Windows, it is enough to have the testing executable (host 
application) in the same folder as the shared library. Is something of 
the kind possible in Linux?
