I'm having the same problem

I'm trying to install the extended prefs plugin. I tried creating the plugins folder and putting it into /usr/lib/gaim where all my other plugins reside. Neither way seems to work. The extended prefs ends with .c, I don't know if I'm supposed to convert or compile this first or what, but it doesn't work. Anybody else get this working?
