You might have Geany installed into some other prefix, you can check by 
running `which geany` and removing the last part, for example to assign 
it to a variable:

$ PREFIX=`which geany | sed 's|/bin/geany||'`

Then do like this:

$ cd geany-plugins
$ ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX --with-geany-libdir=$PREFIX/lib
$ make install

If you haven't run `autogen.sh` yet, you can pass those same options to 
`autogen.sh` instead of `configure` the first time (and then use just 
`configure` with those options after). I don't know what the reason of 
`--with-geany-libdir` but it seems to help the build system to find the 
lib directory even though it's just `$PREFIX/lib`.

It's the best way, yep.
