Dear Candy,

Sorry, but the PLUMED plugin isn't actually supported by us, but
instead by the plumed developers.

You could instead use the colvars and metadynamics features that are
already natively available within namd to accomplish your calculation,
or you could attempt contacting the plumed developers regarding their
patch.
