Plugins -- Linux

Plugins must be in a directory named "Plugins" in the same directory as the IDE.

For example if your REALbasic IDE is in

/opt/REALSoftware/REALbasic2007r4

then you must put your plugins in

/opt/REALSoftware/REALbasic2007r4/Plugins


Create the directory if it does not exist. If you create the directory, and more than one person uses is under Linux, make sure that others have at least read/execute access to the directory. Depending upon how the plugin works, you may have to give them write access also.

For example, the Plugins folder might be created by root with the following commands:

mkdir /opt/REALSoftware/REALbasic2007r4/Plugins
chmod a+rwx /opt/REALSoftware/REALbasic2007r4/Plugins

This allows everyone to read/write/execute programs in the plugins directory. Generally, you must trust the user base that runs the IDE in order to give them this much access.
