I'm sure you are.

Sorry to say this, but given the lack of detail in your error-report and 
the way you're trying to compile the plugin makes me think you don't 
know squat about neither unix nor the process of compiling source-code 
into software.

I seriously suggest you pay your local unix guru a bottle of scotch. 
He'll sort it out in somewhere between 30 seconds and two minutes, but 
explaining the process to you will take several days, because you will 
give wrong and incomplete info about what's going on every step of the 
way. Sorry, but it's the harsh truth.

One way to get you going though, is to learn you the importance of the

man

command. Type

man man

at the prompt, and you'll instantly notice the wealth of information at 
your disposal.
