I can't speak to the AMD64, but a common problem is that the .so file needs to be a symlink rather than the "real" file. Particular installations may vary; as I understand it the problem is that related files are searched in the directory of the plugin, and the symlink is needed to point to the version in a directory with all the files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
