I've no idea - I tried it on Mac OS X with that setting for the 
"--with-plugins" flag, and it found the plugins after I did a "make

What is PLUGIN_DIR defined as in the top-level config.h file?

What version of GLib are you using?

You might have to see what gets passed to the "plugins_scan_dir()" 
routine in "epan/plugins.c", and whether it properly scans that 
directory looking for ".so" files.
