Using --prefix=/usr for local build is not recommended. You can try
setting the environmental variables CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS to allow
configure find the geany header files and libraries.

Under menu item "Edit | Preferences | General | Start", you can set the
"Extra plugin path". Maybe this is what you want.
