Dear colleagues, trying to solve FAQ-ish problem "[Shared object "libdl.so.2" not found, required by "libflashplayer.so"]" with linuxpluginwrappers I found that libmap.conf works only with realpaths and did not resolve symlinks. A bit of background: using FreeBSD from approx 1995 I found useful to setup all machines with rather small root _AND_ small and normally read-only /usr, with home and local directories symlinked out (usually to rather large /lh partition). Of course, replacing /usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so with /lh/local/.... solved the problem, but: what are disadvantages and/or drawbacks of realpath(3) resolving of libmap.conf headers? Sincerely, D.Marck [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Dmitry Morozovsky --- D.Marck --- Wild Woozle --- marck@rinet.ru *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------
