Yes, Thanks. That could be it. But it would almost have to be some recent install/uninstall, I would think, since Roger indicated that he has other Sigil plugins installed. Hopefully something there will get him going.

Sigil's C++ (minizip) is responsible for dealing with a plugin (or epub's) zipping/unzipping (which in turn may utilize system libs on Linux). Perhaps there's some way I should be zipping my plugins to make them more widely compatible with other systems. I don't think I've ever used anything other than the standard zip algo with standard compression. They're created on a Linux machine, though. I'll have to look into it a bit.
