It is possible that some libraries that those plugins depend on are not found. You could find out why if you run 'ldd /usr/local/csound/libpmidi.so' (and so on with all the problematic files). Also, instead of the .tar.gz binaries, you should try the .rpm instead at first, particularly if you have a newer distribution. If you did already install from the tarball, note that it does not include an uninstaller, so you may need to manually find and remove each file for a clean upgrade later.
