No plugins; cannot load data file.

[Jack]

Brendan,

Sorry that I just haven't had a chance to look at your scripts.   
However, you are correct that Timthy's problem is most likely a  
mismatch between where the plugins are getting installed and where the  
system expects to find them.  If the build were done with  
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr (or hopefully even /usr/local) then things  
SHOULD just work.  However, as we have all discovered, every  
distribution is a little different, so figuring out where the plugins  
DO get installed, and then explicitly setting the appropriate  
environment variable to point to them, assures things work, even if it  
shouldn't be necessary.

In addition, if you point the install to anywhere else, such as to keep  
it completely separate from the distro installed version, then you can  
get your newly compiled application trying to run the system installed  
plugins, which does not always work, and almost never what you want.   
Setting that variable can make this work.  (QT_PLUGIN_PATH, from  
memory.)
