I've just compiled ethereal 0.9.13 and 0.9.15, and while it works, it seems the plugins don't... Tools => Plugins should list all available plugins, but

plugins/0.9.15 at compile time... I've got a Linux system...

Does anyone know what could be wrong?
I've no idea - I tried it on Mac OS X with that setting for the "--with-plugins" flag, and it found the plugins after I did a "make install". 

What is PLUGIN_DIR defined as in the top-level config.h file?

What version of GLib are you using?
You might have to see what gets passed to the "plugins_scan_dir()" routine in "epan/plugins.c", and whether it properly scans that directory looking for ".so" files.
