First of all, I'd suggest to download and use the latest version of 
OLSRD (that should be 0.4.8).

Then you have to add

                         int olsr_socket;

in the struct interface that you find in olsrd_plugin.h (in the section 
IP independent).

Have you tried the plugin in a network or just running on a single node 
? I think that iif you don't have other node you'll continue getting an 
empty POWERTABLE...
