Hi Jorge,
I'm putting vlc-devel in CC since these kind of mails may also help 
other users.

Java can't find libvlc-control probably because it's not in your 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Try to run

ldconfig -p | grep libvlc-control

and see it is listed there. If not configure your ldconfig properly 
(perhaps by editing ld.so.conf), or put libvlc-control in a path 
reachable by linker (for example, /usr/lib).

Cheers,
Filippo
