Aha,

I assume this means that you have more than one Geany at different prefixes?

There is a problem with plugins in that situation, the autoconf/make builder gets the wrong prefix and so makes the plugins with the wrong version.
But since you made the demoplugin separately it works ok.

This bug has been raised to the autoconf maintainer but I've not seen it fixed.  AFAIK the WAF builder works ok so you might want to use that.

PS ignore my comment about .lo and .la files, I wasn't paying attention, they are of course libtool files.  But they "shouldn't" be needed to run just to link.

So I will clean out the previous install and reinstall.  That should fix the issue, correct?

The only files that I know of are in these areas:

/usr/bin/geany

/usr/lib/geany/

/usr/lib/geany-plugins/

/home/me/.config/geany/

Is there anything else?

You could try make uninstall :-)

Well a nice clean install allways helps :-), but it HAS to be the same version as you are building the plugin for since the autotools is hard coded to use the standard Geany prefix for plugins.

As I said above I am told by "Prolific Plugin Programmers" that the waf version will handle plugins properly to any prefix, but I havn't used it yet.

PS please reply to the list, not to me, so other people can see and interrupt any time either of us is talking garbage :-)  ((sorry, I thought I was.))
