Which version of Geany did you install?

If you are using Geany 0.19 it most likely will not compile 0.18th
release plugins. You will also need to configure and build current svn
version of geany-plugins.

This shouldn't be needed, as make install is doing this already.

The demo plugi is a first step into building a plugin. Reading 
http://www.geany.org/manual/reference/howto.html might also be a good
idea for the start. 

Of course, reading all the plugins inside geany-plugins in case of any
qeustion might can help you - as well as asking on geany-devel mailing
list ;)
