loading the plug in

I'm missing something obvious here (I think). How do I load a plug in?

The story so far:


I've filled in OSProcess-V2-1 and CommandWindow-V1-0. They both show
up in the ChangeSet browser. I've built UnixOSProcessPlugin.so by the
simple expedient of stuffing everything in the /src/generated/ directory
and
doing:

gcc --shared -o UnixOSProcessPlugin.so UnixOSProcessPlugin.c
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H

It builds.


And I've put UnixOSProcessPlugin.so in my home directory (where I
normally start Squeak from) and just about everywhere else I can think
of.

(Basically, following Bert's instructions)

In Squeak, in a workspace I type:

UnixProcess thisOSProcess command: 'ls -l' 

or

UnixProcess  command: 'cal' highlight and hit Alt+d

and I get a modal dialog box with

"process accessor module not available"

Erm....  Do I have to tell Squeak to explicitly load the plug in? What
exactly do I have to do?


Cheers

John
