The symlinks are working for me but I agree it is a bad idea. Would be much better if the www/linuxpluginwrapper put things where they belong that way they will be properly cleaned up when the port is deinstalled. My point though, was if things have to be manually fixed up before or after installing a port there is a way to automate that so on the next upgrade hopefully things will keep working. -Mike
