To clarify on Carlos' suggestion - the current build system uses a 
file-globbing operation at configure-time to build the list of sources 
for a plugin.  That's convenient because you don't have to explicitly 
list all the sources in your CMakeLists.txt.  However, it means that new 
sources aren't "noticed" by the build until you re-run cmake.  If you 
haven't done that, your plugin gets built, but hasn't been linked with 
any of the symbols in your new sources, which causes problems at runtime.

Cheers,
Tim
