Read these instructions from Arjan van Leeuwen. It works perfectly !! =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D Hi Henry, others, As of the latest weekly development release of Opera (see =A0 http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/), it's now possible to use any Linux = =A0 plugin in the native Opera for FreeBSD version, including Flash and =A0 Acrobat Reader. The feature will be included in the upcoming Opera 9.1. =46or now, it'll require some actions to get it to work, but if you'd like = =A0 to experiment with this, this might help: 0) Make sure you have the x11/linux-xorg-libs port installed. 1) Download and extract the latest weekly release for both FreeBSD and =A0 Linux: http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/Weekly-507/intel-freebsd/opera-9.10-20061205= =2E4-shared-qt.i386.freebsd-en-507.tar.bz2 http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/Weekly-507/intel-linux/opera-9.10-20061205.1= =2Dstatic-qt.i386-en-507.tar.bz2 (FreeBSD package is for FreeBSD 6.x and requires Qt installed) 2) Copy operapluginwrapper from the Linux package over to the FreeBSD =A0 package: $ cd opera-9.10-20061205.4-shared-qt.i386.freebsd-en-507 $=20 cp =A0../opera-9.10-20061205.1-static-qt.i386-en-507/plugins/operapluginwra= pper =A0 plugins/ Now, if you want to run the Opera weekly directly from the package without = =A0 installing (will use a fresh, empty profile, recommended): 3) Copy libnpp.so within the FreeBSD package to a new location: $ cp plugins/libnpp.so bin/libnpp.so 4) Run Opera $ ./opera If instead you want to install Opera for all users (will overwrite =A0 existing installations and use your default profile, not recommended with = =A0 development releases like this): 3) Run install $ ./install.sh 4) Copy libnpp.so manually to the Opera binary directory $ cp plugins/libnpp.so /usr/local/share/opera/bin/ 5) Run Opera $ /usr/local/bin/opera The actions described here do not affect Java; you'll still be able to run = =A0 Java applets with the native version of Java (such as diablo-jdk or =A0 diablo-jre). We appreciate any reports on whether this feature works as expected (or =A0 doesn't at all).

You can post on the forum if you = =A0 have more problems with this. It could be that you're using a package =A0 that's compiled for a different version of FreeBSD; use the .4 package if = =A0 you're on FreeBSD 6. > =A02) =A0the Flash plugin.

I don't know about that, but you could file a bug at =A0 http://bugs.opera.com/.
