I have ethereal 0.10.11(latest released) installed on my computer, and a source from svn to build our own plugin. Since the version is the same, I can not apply my plugin. It reported runtime error whenever I tried to copy my plugins to ethereal\plugins\0.10.11\.

When you tried to copy the plugins, or when you tried to run Ethereal with the copied plugins?

I think if I can change the global plugins folder to 0.10.10, or change the version of svn source to 0.10.12, it would work.

I would not assume that a plugin will work with any version of Ethereal other than the one with which it's built; there might be an ABI change to the routines plugins call.

I'd suggest building and installing Ethereal from SVN, and then build the plugin with the same tree.
