I just upgraded to Mozilla-1.3_1,2 and attempted to install flash plugins for the first time. The following instructions were taken from section 15.2.2. Mozilla, Java, and Shockwave Flash of the FreeBSD Handbook. I installed flashplugin-mozilla-0.4.10_2 but had some difficulty following the instructions. I was unable to locate libflashplayer.so, and ShockwaveFlash.class. Are the instructions current? If not, please advise. Thank you. Bob "...install the www/flashpluginwrapper <http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/www/flashpluginwrapper/pkg-descr>; port. This port requires emulators/linux_base <http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/emulators/linux_base/pkg-descr>; which is a large port. True that other *flash* plugins exist, however they have not worked for me. Now copy the *flash* plug-in files with: # *cp /usr/local/lib/flash/libflashplayer.so \ /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer_linux.so* # *cp /usr/local/lib/flash/ShockwaveFlash.class \ /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins/* Now add the following lines to the top of (but right under #!/bin/sh) *Mozilla* startup script: /usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla. LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libflashplayer.so.1 export LD_PRELOAD This will enable the *flash* plug-in."
