Bug#762770: lives cannot find any encoders on startup

[salsaman]

If you use a library path other than /usr/lib, (or to be more precise,
$PREFIX/lib) for the plugins you need to do two things:

1) ./configure --libdir=<path_to_lib>
e.g. ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib/libx86_64-linux-gnu/



Assuming the libweed libs are also in the same directory:

2) Adjust the library paths in libweed/*.pc


A warning about the second change is printed at configure time, the first
is not documented, but it quite likely should be.


Please test and let me know if this fixes the problem for you.
