Richmond, So the installation of plugins is a bit more customizable than I thought. My instructions worked for Mac and Windows but not Linux if there is no pre-existing location for them that the IDE already knows about. If there was or you specifically told LIveCode where it should be my instructions might not work.
I have updated the instructions for a fresh installation and also included the following link to RunRev's installation page. http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/4071/l/21341-how-to-install-custom-user-plugins You should not need to change the suffix unless you are installing it for Revolution instead of LiveCode. Sorry for the confusion.
