You're only providing a static libploticus.a. Doesn't ploticus also support building and linking against a shared lib?
If only a static lib is supplied, it should probably go into a package called "libploticus-devel" (along with the necessary header files), and not "libploticus".
This is because the static library (and .la libtool libs, and .dll.a import libs) are only needed if developing a client application. They are not needed at runtime.
On the other hand, .dll files which are needed at runtime usually go into packages named "lib{foo}" or "lib{foo}N".
