Yesterday I cvsup'ed and upgraded my ports, using the procedure I've been using for quite some time. After it was done, most of my Mozilla plug-ins no longer work. I did not upgrade my operating system at that time, since I'm already at the latest patchlevel. The specific issues are with acroread7, flash and mplayer-plugin. All of these worked as plug-ins before the upgrade, but now none of them do. Acroread7 and mplayer work fine in their standalone application incarnations, but not as plug-ins. Curiously, the java plug-in still works fine. In Mozilla, about:plugins shows java and the mplayer stuff, but not anything pertaining to Acrobat or PDFs. Here is what I've done to try to fix this: tripel# mv /etc/libmap.conf /etc/libmap.conf.old tripel# cp /usr/local/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper/libmap.conf-FreeBSD5-stable /etc/libmap.conf /etc/libmap.conf - both the new and old versions - have an entry like # Acrobat7 with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany/Konqueror/Kazehakase [/usr/compat/linux/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so] libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/acrobat.so libc.so.6 exists; it's a symlink to libc-2.3.2.so, both in /usr/compat/linux/lib. However, the path shown in [square brackets] does not exist. Does it need to? man libc.conf doesn't say anything about those square bracket entries. On the off chance, I tried creating that heirarchy of directories and touch'ing nppdf.so, but no love so I got rid of it. $ ls /usr/local/lib/pluginwrapper acrobat.so flash7.so java3d.so oci8.so realplayer.so flash6.so jai.so java3d_snd.so pips.so A search of the list archive turned up a post saying that you have to have linprocfs mounted *before* doing the *install* on linuxpluginwrapper. I made that happen; relevant df output is Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on linprocfs 4 4 0 100% /usr/compat/linux/proc I then deinstalled the following via 'make deinstall', then did 'make reinstall' in this order: print/acroread7 www/mozilla www/linuxpluginwrapper www/linux-flashplugin www/mplayer-plugin Question: Can someone point me to a writeup of what I need to do, in what order, to repair this? Thanks very much. $ uname -a FreeBSD tripel.monochrome.org 5.4-RELEASE-p8 FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p8 #0: Thu Oct 13 22:12:04 EDT 2005 chris@tripel.monochrome.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TRIPEL i386 -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org ** [ Busy Expunging <|> ]
