Well, I installed the .DEB myself and I have a similar problem in that the 
plugin mechanism does not seem to work with the debs.  But my error is 
different, so it could be something else.

A typical problem we had with libraries that gave an error-message like the 
one above is that somebody had an older, incompatible version of the 
libraries installed (/usr/local/lib? $LD_LIBRARY_PATH?) and that this version 
was found and used instead of the one installed by debian (/usr/lib).  Having 
the linker load the old version then typically leads to the problem above.

Hope this helps...
