A plugin/crate was declared but cannot be found. Erroneous code example: ```compile_fail,E0463 #![feature(plugin)] #![plugin(cookie_monster)] // error: can't find crate for `cookie_monster` extern crate cake_is_a_lie; // error: can't find crate for `cake_is_a_lie` ``` You need to link your code to the relevant crate in order to be able to use it (through Cargo or the `-L` option of rustc example). Plugins are crates as well, and you link to them the same way.
