Subject:   GPL Flash Plugin in Mozilla 0.9.3 on FreeBSD?

I compiled the GPL Flash plugin from http://www.swift-tools.com on FreeBSD
(-CURRENT 01/31/01).  After working around a few linuxisms, I was able to get
what appears to be a good npflash.so (the standalone player, "swfplayer",
from the same compilation works successfully).

I placed npflash.so in the $(MOZILLA)/plugins directory, however, when I
go to "about:plugins", I get the following console output (with no mention
of npflash on the status page):

-------
********** Got plugins path: /usr/local/src/mozilla/mozilla/dist/bin/plugins
IsPluginFile(/usr/local/src/mozilla/mozilla/modules/plugin/default/unix/libnullplugin.so)

LoadPlugin() /usr/local/src/mozilla/mozilla/dist/bin/plugins/npflash.so returned 0
Document about:plugins loaded successfully

Has anyone had any better luck?
