Hum sorry to answer my own question but one trick would be to set the 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH before launching the executable. Unfortunately, I can't 
find where the executable name is set within QtCreator; anybody knows?

My goal would be to let QtCreator launch 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../my_lib_path/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./my_app
