For FreeBSD-native FireFox and Seamonkey: The FreeBSD native JDK 1.4 gives a working Java plugin. For Flash with linuxpluginwrapper and linux-flashplugin7, you have to patch the system source: Install the dlsym patch: # cd /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf/ # fetch http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nork/rtld_dlsym_hack.diff # patch < rtld_dlsym_hack.diff # make # make install Link the library (linx-flashplugin7 should have already done this): cd /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins ln -sf /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so . ln -sf /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/flashplayer.xpt . And make sure your /etc/libmap.conf Flash7 section agrees with the sample included with the linuxpluginwrapper port. mplayer is supposed to handle RealPlayer, although I can't say I've tested it. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
