ACK. /tmp is a bad place for libs. Its name alone says it. It is
temporary, and can be even used from other programs as well and in
secure environments there should be no executables allowed.

For a system-wide installation aside of the distribution I would prefer

/usr/local/(share|lib)/$vendorname/

or

/usr/(share|lib)/$vendorname/
(this is what I use for my programs)

For a installation in the homedir I use
~/.local/(share|lib)/$vendorname/


Alles Gute
