Here's the first problem. .a library is useless as a plugin and you
might as well delete it. You'll need the .so file.

This however tells that it doesn't even try to load the plugin. If it
can't load it it writes about it to log and dies at startup. Unless you
really used the .so file after all in the above step?

Anyway, try setting debug=yes inside the protocol lda {} and see what it
writes to log.
