Because either

	1) "dlopen()", "dlsym()", etc. don't work on the LinuxPPC distribution 
you're using

or

	2) the GLib on the LinuxPPC distribution you're using wasn't built with 
gmodule support?

If you built Ethereal from source, what was the output of the configure 
script?

If you didn't build Ethereal from source, try building it from source; 
if it doesn't support plugins, show us the output of the configure script.
