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.

Cheers
Lex

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