Turns out the libraries are dependencies of libtgvoip.  It tries to
dlopen them, but doesn't find them.  I've attached a patch to fix that.
Unfortunately VoIP still doesn't work in Telega (it still fails in the
same way as before, except that there are no more error messages in
.telega/telega-voip.log).  It looks like that's a separate, unrelated
issue.

Regards,

Diego
