I had not gracefully and properly kept up with the packages on my system. There was an old libgtk-x11 in /compat/linux/usr/lib. This was causing nspluginwrapper to fail because a symbol wasn't found. I blew away all of the linux compat layer (directory too) and re-installed linux_base-fc4 + the required linux-* lib ports. I could get to the point where I could use nspluginwrapper to have it so that native Firefox would "see" the linux plugin but I got nothing working really well. As a lot of people have said, linux-flashplugin9 is just so buggy and unstable it's not funny. So, I went back to flash7. This loaded under the native firefox, but was slow and I couldn't get sound to work (despite having linux-alsa-libs installed as well as linux-arts and linux-esound if that matters). It also caused some firefox core dumps. So, ultimately I just said "screw it" and abandoned hope of using native a firefox binary and went back to using linux-firefox. Again, even under linux-firefox, the flash9 plugin was just a piece of crap making things segfault left and right. flash7 works nicely as it did before -AND- there is sound (important for those onsie twosie youtube clips people send me pointers to :). I've been able to install the linux jdk and its Java plugin as well as acroread7's plugin and all are acting properly under linux-firefox. So, having larger fish to fry, I'm just going to give up at this point :( -Jr -- John & Jennifer Reynolds johnjen at reynoldsnet.org www.reynoldsnet.org Structural/Physical Design - some group - Intel jreynold at sedona.ch.intel.com Running FreeBSD since 2.1.5-RELEASE.
