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:
http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/VOSBuild
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.
