When you run the configure script, at the end it prints a report of all 
what plugins will be built. If you're missing a dependency, it will skip 
building the plugin unless you explicitly pass --enable-markdown=yes, in 
which case it will cause an error. You probably didn't build it due to 
missing dependency.
