Well, it might work with a FreeBSD/i386 webbrowser if you use something like the pluginwrapper port, although I'm not sure how ld- elf32.so.1 interacts with libmap (does it use /etc/libmap.conf or a separate /etc/libmap32.conf?). I'm fairly certain you can't use Linux/i386 plugins with a FreeBSD/amd64 browser however. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
