Copying the library should really work, as I do it that way while developing.

Maybe it is found, but cannot be loaded, due to unresolved symbols. Try a ldd 
on the compiled input plugin (at the final destination) and see, if it 
references the correct xine lib.

Maybe. Another point could be, that the API version has changed between your 
distro's xine and CVS xine. Then, the input plugin won't load, but I'm not 
shure, whether there should appear an apropriate error message in that case.

Try:
video:/soft/src/xine-lib/src # grep INPUT_PLUGIN_IFACE_VERSION */*.h
input/input_plugin.h:#define INPUT_PLUGIN_IFACE_VERSION   13

Bye.
