1) Easiest way is to symlink old lib name to new one
in usr/lib:
sudo ln -sf libmetatracker.so.0 libtracker.so.0
(I will add this to the make file so it retains backwards compatibility)

2) recompile nautilus - it will use the new lib name.



SearchMetadataText is the old interface. I assume you had a previous deb 
version installed - if so please uninstall it first then recompile tracker.

If correctly installed, usr/lib/libtracker.so should be a symlink to 
//usr/lib/libmetatracker.so
