Hi,
It still seems to be necessary to patch rtld in order to get the Flash
plugin to work (www/linux-flashplugin7) due to the '_dlsym' symbol not
being found.
I was able to use a smaller patch to do this, see attached (although
this may not build with the Intel C compiler).
Also, a more recent version of the Adobe Acrobat viewer
(print/acroread7) is needed in order to stop the XtCalloc messages.
Details here:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/acroread/+bug/41787
Make sure /compat/linux/dev/null does not exist; if it does, as a
regular file, that's bogus and will stop nppdf.so from loading.
With these changes, both plugins work on my system.
BMS
