In fact, the problem lies with the build system (and btw you use quite
an old version).

The plugin paths are built upon the QTDIR environment variable, but
this will only ever work if qtdir is set to a _source_ directory which
you have compiled yourself.

I know the solution, I'm working on it and will post a patch series
when I am done. This patch series will allow, among other niceties, to
build qt-jambi _with your installed Qt version_.
