The Flash problem is solved!!!
The problem was in step 2:
> 2. Install linuxpluginwrapper:
> # cd /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper
> # make WITHOUT_PLUGINS=3Dyes install clean
I just explored the /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper/Makefile and I saw th=
is:
.if !defined(WITHOUT_PLUGINS)
RUN_DEPENDS=3D ${X11BASE}/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so:${POR=
TSDIR}/
www/linux-flashplugin6
RUN_DEPENDS+=3D ${X11BASE}/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so:${PORTSDI=
R}/mult
imedia/linux-realplayer
#RUN_DEPENDS+=3D ${LINUXBASE}/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinu=
x/nppdf
.so:${PORTSDIR}/print/acroread7
.if ${OSVERSION} < 500000
USE_MOTIF=3D yes
.endif
.endif
I had defined WITHOUT_PLUGINS=3Dyes, which meant that the nested .if
expession about using Motif on my system was not executed. My system
needs Motif to get the Flash plugin running. So I deinstalled it, and
installed it without defining this configuration variable:
# cd /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper
# make install clean
Now, Flash works!!!
You can see also that I've commented out the line that will install
Acroread7 as a dependency, because I thought that Acroread5 will work
just fine for me. Obviously I am mistaken, because I still can't open
*.PDF in an embeded browser. And now, I'm just going to try another
install and maybe will use Acroread7.
Best Regards,
Vladimir
