Looks like it only built the static version of the library, not the
shared one. Try passing --enable-shared to libvpx's configure.

And make sure the

  pkg-config --modversion vpx

shows the version you expect, if not you might need to

  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

for that to work and for GStreamer's configure to find it.

 Cheers
