Hi Ceriel,

After Virtuoso 5.0.9 installation from source, the server starts, displaying some warning messages:

23:46:25 { Loading plugin 4: Type `plain', file `im' in `/usr/local/ virtuoso-opensource/lib/virtuoso/hosting'
23:46:25   FAILED  plugin 4: Unable to locate file }
23:46:25 { Loading plugin 5: Type `plain', file `wbxml2' in `/usr/ local/virtuoso-opensource/lib/virtuoso/hosting'
23:46:25   FAILED  plugin 5: Unable to locate file }
23:46:25 { Loading plugin 6: Type `plain', file `hslookup' in `/usr/ local/virtuoso-opensource/lib/virtuoso/hosting'
23:46:25   FAILED  plugin 6: Unable to locate file }
23:46:25 { Loading plugin 7: Type `Hosting', file `hosting_php.so' in `/usr/local/virtuoso-opensource/lib/virtuoso/hosting'
23:46:25   FAILED  plugin 7: Unable to locate file }

These plugins can be disabled in the .ini file.

Plugins are a way to provide extra functionality to the virtuoso server without added too much bulk to the main executable. All of them rely on third party libraries that may or may not be available on your system and there are special arguments to configure to enable them and point to the right third party installation dirs.

Non of them are needed for core Virtuoso operations and so can be commented out if you do not need them.

The VOS Wiki site has some information on how to build these third party libraries as some of them need to be configured in a special way to work with Virtuoso which is why they are not by default enabled:

But how can these plugins be created in the location where virtuoso expects them?
Should non default, CFLAGS, configure or make parameters be used?

Unfortunately i have not come round to generating a default .ini file based on the actual plugins that where build and installed.
