plugin loading in framework broken

[Tomy Rolo]

This code

import numpy as np
from gi.repository import Ufo

if name == 'main':

g = Ufo.Graph()
ff_reader = g.get_filter('reader')

dies with the following error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "ufotest.py", line 6, in <module>

ff_reader = g.get_filter('reader')

File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gi/types.py", line 40, in function

return info.invoke(*args)

RuntimeError?: Filter 'libfilterreader.so' not found

There are two reasons for this:

1) the plugin manager searches for libfilterreader.so, however, the file which is installed is called reader.so

2) on my system, the plugins are installed into /usr/local/lib64, while ufo-core is installed into /usr/local/lib

At least on my system, I can fix the error by creating a symlink with the expected libfilterreader.so filename, and by symlinking the /usr/local/lib64/ufo/ directory into /usr/local/lib/ufo.

This means that the installation routine is currently broken, not the plugin manager.
