    Hello

    I am using nppd.so ad aplugin for PDF files in Epiphany.
    Plugin installed from ports (pluginwrapper)

    Epiphany 1.06
    FreeBSD 5.2.1

    Flash plugin works great,
    Acrobat reader works great by itself.

    When I attempt to view a PDF file in epiphany from a URL, nppd.so
    attempts to launch acrobat reader and hangs at the splash screen.
    (Force quit to get out of it)

    Anybody solve this one before?
    TIA for thoughts.

    More info:

    the file nppd.so is a link:

    in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins

    lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 48 Aug 16 12:02 nppdf.so -> /usr/local/
    Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so

    in /etc/libmap.conf

    # Acrobat with Opera
    [/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nppdf.so]
    libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/acrobat.so

    # Acrobat with Konqueror
    # KDE on FreeBSD requires plugins to be placed in /opt/mozilla/
    plugins/.
    # (unlike many other www browsers on X11, it does not support
    # /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/ for a plugin directory)
    # So please copy nppdf.so to /opt/mozilla/plugins/ like following
    lines.
    # mkdir -p /opt/mozilla/plugins
    # cd /usr/local/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux
    # cp nppdf.so /opt/mozilla/plugins/
    [/opt/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so]
    libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/acrobat.so

    # Acrobat with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany
    [/usr/local/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so]
    libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/acrobat.so
