Package up the binaries in RPM or Deb format (or any other package)
depending on the platform.

Packages can be made to install into a users home though this is not the
norm.  For the libaries, put them in some directory and then write a
wrapper script that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<your lib
dir>:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} and then executes the binary.

Perhaps if you gave more info such as the layout of your files 
and what libraries you are linking with.  If you do the wrapper script
Zipping it up should work fine also.
