[vtkusers] Compiling VTK in a user path

I am trying to get vtk working without a system installation. So i have
configured and compiled vtk from source. I put all executables
in /home/luca/apps/ and installation process finished without any error
but trying to import vtk from python raises this error:

ImportError: libvtkCommonPythonD.so.5.9: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory

The vtk librariy, not in a system path, cannot be found. Should i add
the directory /home/luca/apps/lib64 to the system path? i think it is
not a great idea, couse i have another vtk version compiled and running
on my system (as system-wide installation).

Any idea??

Thank you
