[Bernhard Stegmaier <stegmaier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem is not where they are installed (as long as they are where KiCad looks for them), but against which dynamic (KiCad) library (and, what locations) they are linked.
The guy providing his plugin might have linked against /usr/lib/… whereas the other guy installing it in his user KiCad plugin folder has his KiCad installed in /opt/… 
And, to get more fun, probably he also has some older version installed by distribution in ldconfig before /opt/…
Guess if the plugin will grab the right one?
