I suspect that it's a result of ~/.mozilla/plugins not being in your
"dynamic link library path". Try running with

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/.mozilla/plugins firefox

That said, you're probably not going about it right. Try running

  make install-plugin

From your source tree. It should stick the plugin in ~/.mozilla/plugins
for you, I think. That said, you might need to install the rest of gnash
to a more standardised location for this to work (for the same reason).
