Library not added to path in Fedora #77

I just installed this on my machine and found that nothing worked. My tip off was this:

❯ kdynamicwallpaperbuilder
kdynamicwallpaperbuilder: error while loading shared libraries: libkdynamicwallpaper.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I found that the library was present in /usr/lib, but that wasn't found in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This variable actually wasn't present on my system, so I'm unsure if it's a problem with my machine or perhaps newer versions of Fedora have changed up how libraries are indexed?

In any case, the issue was fixed by running:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib

and now everything works! Thank you for the great plugin.

Interesting... Can you please check whether the plugin works out of the box if you build it without -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib?

I went through the process a few times and it works with and without that flag now. Maybe there was a pending update that messed with my library path? Not sure but thanks for looking at this issue anyways!
