>Description:
The www/flashplugin-mozilla port attempts to install the plugin to
${X11BASE}/lib/mozilla/plugins/ which doesn't exist if mozilla-devel
was installed instead of mozilla.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /var/db/pkg
pkg_deinstall mozilla-1.0*
portinstall mozilla-1.1,1
portinstall flashplugin-mozilla
>Fix:
The quickest work-around for anyone experiencing the problem is simply
to edit the Makefile to add replace 'mozilla' with 'mozilla-devel' in
the path.
There are several longer term solutions possible, depending on our
policy for plugin installations:
1. Check for both directories (and any other browser-specific
plugin directories with compatable interfaces) and install
into the ones that are found.
2. Create the .../mozilla/plugins directory if necessary and
install into it. Make sure that all compatable browser
ports look in that directory as well as any private ones.
3. The patch below uses the WITH_FULL_MOZILLA flag used by
the gnome-fifth-toe port to decide which directory to
install into.
Personally, I'd commit 3 now and start a discussion to determine
our long term policy with respect to plugin installation with
the intent of converting to 1 or 2 later.
