Re: 7.2R and Firefox 3.5.3 and Flash/Java - something odd I can't quite figure out...

Hmm...

# ll /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins
total 128
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 68 Sep 13 09:44 libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
/usr/local/diablo-jdk1.6.0/jre/plugin/amd64/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 130658 Sep 13 13:12 npwrapper.libflashplayer.so

# ll /usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins
total 24
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 22808 Sep 12 22:05 libnullplugin.so

So, should I link the files in browser_plugins to the plugins directory?

I had this problem too.
I didn't have browser_plugins/ into /usr/local/lib, so I linked it to
/usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins/
I don't remember exactly, but I think this would work

Also, my user is not a member of wheel.
But plugins are owned by root:wheel, 755 chmoded, and it works.


(other subject, but still about firefox)
Ssome windowmanager have problems when searching for firefox
I add this to my installation script:

for dir in /usr/local/include /usr/local/bin /usr/local/include
/usr/local/share/idl /usr/local/share/pixmap
do
    ln $dir/firefox3 $dir/firefox
done

But maybe this could be managed into firefox3 package?

I've gotten Flash and Java going with Firefox, as root, using the

However, I can't get it going as a standard user. When I run

     'nspluginwrapper -v -a -i'

I get the following:

     Auto-install plugins from /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins
     Looking for plugins in /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins
     Auto-install plugins from /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin
     Looking for plugins in /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin
     Install plugin
/usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
      ... already installed system-wide, skipping
     Auto-install plugins from /home/kurt/.mozilla/plugins
     Looking for plugins in /home/kurt/.mozilla/plugins

and 'about:plugins' only shows libnullplugin.so as enabled for all MIME
types.

     'nspluginwrapper -l'

shows

     /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
       Original plugin:
/usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
       Wrapper version string: 1.2.2

Check the permissions on
/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so


It's set to root:wheel - my account is a member of wheel.

Should it be something else?
