You need to look in the slimserver log. You should see a line saying
Requiring <pluginname>, followed by the reasons it doesn't load. On my
linux, the log file is in /var/log/slimserver/slimserver.log, but that's
because I told it to be there. Have a look at your startup scripts to
see where yours is.
