Brad,

This should be using the ${libdir}, which is the variable that defines 
the correct "/usr/lib"

What's the name of your recipe?  Normally the PV is parsed from the 
recipename <recipename>_<version>.bb recipename goes into BPN (PN) and 
version goes into PV.

You can set the a SRCREV to a specific git hash and that will be stable 
also. But you can start this way and then move to using a true git based 
recipe.

Hope this helps.

Sau!
