I am following the instructions in the HOWTO.pdf in https://github.com/tgutu/geanylispedit.
I am using ubuntu 16 and have geany installed via software center. In /usr/lib/ there is no directory named geany, where i should put the so file in, as instructed in the pdf file. I have created a geany folder and put the so file in it, but still nothing connected to lisp in the Tools>plugin manager to find. If anyone has experience using common lisp / lisp on geany i would be thankful if you could tell me your solutions.
Regards, Amir

The "Installing the plugin" section in that guide probably won't work for you: it relies on downloading a pre-built binary plugin from 5 years ago. It's even a 32-bits plugin, and you're likely to require a 64-bits one.
You can however build that plugin yourself. It's not very hard, although the build system requires a little tweaking. As teh build system on that plugin doesn't work out of the box anymore, the easiest solution if you're not familiar with building C programs is:
* install the required packages: gcc, libgtk2.0-dev and libvte-dev * open a terminal, and change directory to the plugin's top directory * run the following command:
gcc -Werror=implicit-function-declaration -shared -fPIC -o geanylispedit.so src/geanylispedit.c $(pkg-config --libs --cflags geany vte)
Then, copy the generated geanylispedit.so file into your user's Geany configuration directory:
mkdir -p ~/.config/geany/plugins/ install geanylispedit.so ~/.config/geany/plugins/
Restart Geany, and you should see the plugin in the Plugin Manager. If not, as Lex asked, show us the Debug Messages so we can dig further.
Here is a fully functional set of commands to download, build and install the plugin, in case you're not familiar enough with the command line. You however still need to install the dependencies yourself beforehand.
wget https://github.com/tgutu/geanylispedit/archive/master.zip -O geanylispedit-master.zip unzip geanylispedit-master.zip cd geanylispedit-master/ gcc -Werror=implicit-function-declaration -shared -fPIC -o geanylispedit.so src/geanylispedit.c $(pkg-config --libs --cflags geany vte) mkdir -p ~/.config/geany/plugins/ install geanylispedit.so ~/.config/geany/plugins/

That's expected. The Ubuntu build of Geany will search for plugins in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/geany/ (or /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/geany/ on 32 bits systems), not in /usr/lib/geany/. Anyway, downloading a 5 years old pre-built binary off the internet to use on a very recent OS is not a very nice solution, as it's likely not to work so well.
