I've seen this before. From memory it was the result of mixed up libraries. After you compiled geany, did you "make install" it, or are you running it from the directory that you built it in? If you installed it, did you overwrite your existing copy or did you put it in a different location?
I didn't "make install" it, just I run it from the directory that I built it. (I use a stable (0.16) Geany (in Ubuntu), so I don't want to change to a development version.) If I open my PHP file in the stable Geany, it shows colors.
Thank you, anyway. I try to do a consistent prefix set... Zoltan
Although I've encountered this before, annoyingly I don't remember exactly what I did to resolve it.
I wrote this earlier with regard to a different problem, but I had the same symptoms.
"OK. Ignore last... sorry. It looks like I'd managed to end up with a set of bizarrely interlinked installations of geany. My new install in /usr was referencing files in /usr/local (I removed the old one and lost all the syntax highlighting and the fold icons turned into black blocks!). I've cleaned off all the installs, done a complete make clean; make; make install of geany and I can now build the plugins."
You might need to do a compile cycle with a consistent prefix set throughout.
