And combination (native Mozilla / Seamonkey) + linuxpluginwrapper + linux-flashplugin-7 works for most of such sites I'm visiting (RELENG_6). If you don't want to use it, just don't install it. Patch in question, http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nork/rtld_dlsym_hack.diff doesn't crash/hang anything, it just gives the possibility to use this combination. > The patch has no impact on the base system, it only allows the flash player > to be used _from ports_, and the linuxplugin port already has a big caveat > for version 7 flash player. > > A native FreeBSD flash player is not going to happen any time soon, and > people are already using flash version 8 (for which there's no way to be used > on FreeBSD). That's why I also vote for the commit of this trivial patch. Sincerely, Dmitry -- Atlantis ISP, System Administrator e-mail: dmitry@atlantis.dp.ua nic-hdl: LYNX-RIPE
