<pre wrap="">How do i compile just the one plugin i want, and install it in the

run configure with the correct prefix, e.g.:
./configure --prefix=/usr
cd to the plugin source directory that you want, e.g.:
cd src/plugins/fancy
and run make and sudo make install there.

Really easy! I did not imagine it could be that simple. But there is a
problem: other plugins (I installed one from the Debian repository) use
the folder, and the one i just compiled, with your steps, want to copy
it to a different folder.
>From repository:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/claws-mail/plugins/
Installing from downloaded source, steps above:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lib/claws-mail/plugins
See the difference?
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/claws-mail/plugins/
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lib/claws-mail/plugins
There is an extra "lib" folder in the second path. I used
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
to obtain that result.
In another try, I did:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

This prefix is wrong. If you want to build plugins like the Debian
packages do, just use the same dir-related flags for configuring:

Anyway, keep reading...

You need to be root to install stuff on system directories. You missed
the "sudo" bits that Paul mentioned. But if you're puzzled by this error
I'm not sure you should be installing things on system directories as
root ;-)
Safer would be to install the plugin to a directory in your home folder
(e.g.: --prefix=/home/user/myclawsplugins) and load it from the folder
created by make install under it. That doesn't require root and chances
you break your system is zero. Note that Claws Mail allows loading
plugins from any directory, not just the system wide folder.

<p>Thank you for pointing, Ricardo, but i know that permission
problem. I did it not being root on purpose, because i wanted to
see in which directory it would try to install, but without doing
it. I will check the page you sent above what i quote here, and i
answer you in a few more minutes, probably.</p>
<p>Thank you.�� (:</p>
