I've noticed that when a core plugin loading fails qgis doesn't say anything, unless you build it in Debug mode.

It's pretty frustrating. Should errors in plugin loading be printed in Release mode too ?

Just to give some more context: the plugin which is failing to load for me is grass, whose .so fails to find a few dependent libs:

$ ldd /usr/local/lib/qgis/plugins/libgrassplugin.so | grep 'not found'
        libgrass_gis.so => not found
        libgrass_vect.so => not found
        libgrass_dbmibase.so => not found
        libgrass_dbmiclient.so => not found
        libgrass_gproj.so => not found
        libgrass_gis.so => not found
        libgrass_vect.so => not found
        libgrass_dbmibase.so => not found
        libgrass_dbmiclient.so => not found
        libgrass_gproj.so => not found

Hello, bug triage...

in QGIS 2.13 master (and probably in previous versions), when a plugin can't be loaded, there is a log message displayed in the Log Messages Panel.
I've got problems with my GRASS installation and QGIS reports it:

Failed to load /home/medspx/apps/lib/qgis/plugins/libgrassplugin7.so (Reason: Cannot load library...

I am closing this bug.
