So far, for every plugin I’ve downloaded and tried to load Blender exits and gives me a segmentation fault error. I’ve tried both Python and C plugins, neither of them work (for me, at least). I tried to load the Python tutorial provided with the Blender 2.0 manual at www.blender.org, but Blender crashed as it loaded it.
Please help! Blender’s great, but I would like to use (and create) plugins.
Do you mean plugins or scripts? Scripts are python text code that is loaded into the text window.
Plugins are either texture plugins that are loaded via the ‘plugin’ button in the texture buttons window, or sequence plugins loaded via the sequence editor.

I mean plugins. I went to the texture buttons, clicked plugin… load plugin… selected the .so file… clicked load… then blender exited with the Segmentation Fault error.
I’m on windoze so I can’t really help you except tto say that most of the plugins were written for 2.23 or before. Try Blender v2.23. It shouldn’t make a difference but it’s worth a try.
