 "##,
 
+E0463: r##"
+A plugin/crate was declared but cannot be found. Erroneous code example:
+
+```
+#![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.
