47 If you do not wish to enable the plugin support within GAIM, run the
48 ./configure script with the --disable-plugins option and recompile your
49 source code. This will prevent the ability to load plugins.

51 'make install' puts the plugins in $PREFIX/lib/gaim (PREFIX being what you
52 specified when you ./configure'd - it defaults to /usr/local). Gaim looks
53 for the plugins in that directory by default, but they do not have to be
54 there to use them. Also, plugins have a .so extension by default, though
55 they do not have to.
