libstage.so is installed in <prefix>/lib. Player doesn't look there by 
default: I see some code in <player>/server/main.cc that would check 
<prefix>/lib automatically, but it is apparently not robust to 
different versions of autoconf, and is commented out. I'll take a look 
at this sometime.

So for now you need to set up the PLAYERPATH environment variable:

(in BASH)

$ export PLAYERPATH=<prefix>/lib

Where <prefix> is the installation prefix you configured Player with, 
or (usually) /usr/local by default.
