LD_LIBRARY_PATH ignored for Qt6 application

I'm trying to deploy a Qt6 application on a Ubuntu 24.04 machine. Here my dist content:

. ├── libQt6Core.so ├── libQt6Core.so.6 ├── libQt6Core.so.6.8.0 ├── libQt6Gui.so ├── libQt6Gui.so.6 ├── libQt6Gui.so.6.8.0 ├── libQt6SerialPort.so ├── libQt6SerialPort.so.6 ├── libQt6SerialPort.so.6.8.0 ├── libQt6Widgets.so ├── libQt6Widgets.so.6 ├── libQt6Widgets.so.6.8.0 ├── MyApp └── platforms └── libqxcb.so 

Then I tried to run MyApp as follow:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(pwd) $ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/user/Documents/dist $ ./MyApp 

but it returns:

./MyApp: error while loading shared libraries: libQt6Widgets.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

As you can see the file exists and is there. After exporting theLD_LIBRARY_PATH this is the output of ldd:

$ ldd MyApp linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffc29796000) libQt6Widgets.so.6 => not found libQt6Gui.so.6 => not found libQt6SerialPort.so.6 => not found libQt6Core.so.6 => not found libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007583d5000000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007583d53ff000) libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007583d4c00000) libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007583d5316000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007583d545a000) 

I read this and this questions (among many others) but I still have issues. Why it does not find the files even if they are there?
