The underlying problem is, that the plugin paths are hardcoded to the installation directories. In the usual case (building from source), this is ok, and I saw no pressing reason to support running a non-installed gmerlin yet. Maybe you can try to set GMERLIN_PLUGIN_PATH to a colon separated list of the .libs directories in the script. All other, possibly more elegant suggstions to solve this are welcome. A problem can be, that the options for external plugins might be available in the manpage as well, but that cannot be done before the external packages (e.g. gmerlin-encoders) is installed as well.
