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.
