Hi
I have following ports installed on my FreeBSD
5-Stable system:
mozilla-1.7.5_2,2
plugger-5.1.2
acroread-7.0.0
In Mozilla, Help->About Plug-ins, shows me a long list
of Mime types that are handled by plugger:
File name: npplugger.so
Plugger version 5.1.2 [...cut text...]
Config file: /usr/X11R6/etc/pluggerrc-5.1.2
Helper binary: plugger-5.1.2
Controller binary: plugger-controller
OpenOffice helper: plugger-oohelper
When I click on a pdf file, I can verify with the ps
command that plugger-5.1.2 indeed has been launched:
plugger-5.1.2 2576,1,38,27262978,0,0,920,607 \
acroread -tempFile +useFrontEndProgram \
-geometry +9000+9000 "$file"
The mozilla window is empty and has
"Running helper ..." in the bottom.
However, nothing happens after this.
No pdf file loaded, nothing!
Any idea what is causing the problem?
A problem in the plugger configuration file?
Or a problem with acroread-7.0.0?
Using plugger with, for example, realvideo files,
works fine.
Regards,
Rob.
