You can see my own attempt at packaging audacious a few months ago here
[0].  In the list of configure flags, you'll note that I included a
configure flag that roughly equates to
"LDFLAGS=-Wl,-rpath=/gnu/store/...audacious-3.10.1/lib".  This configure
flag passes a flag ("-rpath") to the linker (through "-Wl") which ensures
that any libraries in the given folder are included in the RUNPATH of any
binaries or libraries.  If you do this, your error *should* disappear.
