Heh, yes. Ok, let me be sure I'm clear in my explanation. As this is the STABLE list, it might be redundant to mention that this is all on what was 5.3 and is now 5.4-PRERELEASE I install native firefox and native java, jdk14 (which requires, during the build, the linux-sun-jdk14 though that can be deleted afterwards.) If I then install /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper, it installs the linux-flash plugin, linux_base-8, linux-realplayer and some other linux things. After that, if one looks in /usr/local/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper, one sees libmap.conf files for FreeBSD4.x, FreeBSD5-current and FreeBSD5-stable. If one copies the suggested lines to /etc/libmap.conf, flash and realplayer will work, as well as pdf's opening with acroread. Java is a separate issue--if one installs java before installing firefox, firefox finds it on its own. If you install java after installing firefox then you often have to create a symlink. - -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Spike: It's a big rock.
