Quoting Rick Voland <rpvoland@spamcop.net> (from Mon, 22 May 2006 =20 21:16:35 -0500): > Is the acroread7 plugin for Firefox currently functional? I can run > acroread as a stand-alone program, but not as a plugin. If I check > "about:plugins" acroread is recognized as a plugin. That's more than what you get on FreeBSD-current (there it is a =20 problem with symbol versioning & the linuxpluginwrapper). > I'm asking here because the Linux Base is under significant development, > so I'm wondering whether this problem is known and being postponed until > the Linux Base is more stable. The plugin runs as native code. So as long as acroread started by hand =20 is able to display a PDF, it should not be caused by the linux base. =20 And I'm not aware of problems with the new linux base. > The symptom is that I get "running helper", but little disk activity > (program not loaded). I created a symbolic link: > ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/acroread /usr/local/bin/acroread7 > and then I get much longer disk activity, enough that I see the acroread > program icon change, indicating it has loaded, but I still don't see the > associated PDF content in my browser or anywhere else. > > FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0 with SMP kernel > acroread7-7.0.1,1 > acroreadwrapper-0.0.20060221 > linuxpluginwrapper-20051113_2 (with its /etc/libmap.conf file) Would you please update linuxpluginwrapper and check the example =20 libmap.conf for changes.
