    I just did this, but I am unable to register the plugin in Opera. I am
    using FreeBSD 4.8 and Opera 7.21.

    I am not sure if this is a problem, but this is the output of pkg_info |
    grep opera:

    linux-opera-6.12.20030305 A blazingly fast, full-featured,
    standards-compliant browse
    opera-6.12.20030305 A blazingly fast, full-featured, standards-compliant
    browse
    opera-7.21.20031013 A blazingly fast, full-featured, standards-compliant
    browse

    I have set the synlinks in the plugins directory, and since that didn't
    work I also added /usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/ to the plugin path,
    to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions?
