It works :).

I wonder if there is a good reason to move the outdated lib
and links from /usr/lib/ to /usr/local/lib? I prefer to have them in
the same location.

$ ls -hAl /usr/lib/libvpx*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   15 Apr 18 12:41 /usr/lib/libvpx.so -> libvpx.so.2.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   20 Apr 24 07:51 /usr/lib/libvpx.so.1 -> /lib/libvpx.so.1.3.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   20 Apr 24 07:51 /usr/lib/libvpx.so.1.3 -> /lib/libvpx.so.1.3.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.7M Dec  7  2013 /usr/lib/libvpx.so.1.3.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   15 Apr 18 12:41 /usr/lib/libvpx.so.2 -> libvpx.so.2.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   15 Apr 18 12:41 /usr/lib/libvpx.so.2.0 -> libvpx.so.2.0.0
