This is very likely to be the reason. I'm going to check that !

I already did this it compiles and runs fine. I also added a mysheet.sheet.in
and modified 
the Makefile.am in the dia/sheet directory. (some good material for the tutorial
!)

Then I tried to move the generated mysheet.sheet to the .dia/sheets directory
ad the mylib.la and mylib.so to the .dia/objects directory for use with the
regular 0.9 
release shipped Mandrake 9.  Upon startup I get a message "wrong plugin API
version"
Was the API changed recently or did I sth wrong ?

I am also trying to revert to 0.9 sources rather than the cvs sources
but have new compile problems at the autogen stage with gtk-pixbuf

I am using 2.0, still investigating what could be wrong here....
