Thanks for the compiling instructions. If I get brave (or desperate), I'll take a look.

Yeah, I think that's what some of us have been saying...the info is really helpful until it isn't anymore. And that's when you find out certain steps have been deprecated, replaced by some neat new way to do things. After about 5 different guides, you get a real feel for what's happening during an install, so you can cater it to how you know yours needs to run. The problem is, it's 4 or 5 days after you started and all the excitement has been run out of the house and has been replaced by the Squatters of WTFrustration.

It could be that the particular quest you are trying to use just doesn't exist, or it has a part in it that is broken. Make sure to check the quest folder for the zone you are in to see if an actual quest file exists for the NPC you are trying to speak with.
By quests not working, I am assuming that when you hail any NPC, none of them respond at all? Have you tried multiple NPCs, or are you basing this off of a single particular NPC? Also, have you tried watching your log files as your server loads to see if it reports any errors while booting up?

You're exactly right; neither hailing nor handins work either. I've tried class GMs and normal quest-givers. As far as directory structure goes, I've tried %EQ_Directory%/quests/[zone_name]/[NPC_name].pl. I've tried putting all the plugins in just the %EQ_Directory% as well as in BOTH the %EQ_Directory%/plugins and %EQ_Directory%/quests/plugins locations and neither works.
As far as errors go, the only errors I get from world.exe have to do with not being able to find rule_sets like AAexp modifiers and stuff--things that I think are db stuff.
