I tried the symlink, to no avail:
$ cd /usr/local/lib/netscape/plugins; ls -l
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 48 1 feb 11:08 nppdf.so -> /usr/local/Acrobat3/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so
But the URL "about:plugins" keeps showing that there are not plugins
installed.
You said that you are using the netscape4-navigator.us port. This
port installs the FreeBSD executable. Then, are you using the
Acrobat plugin (which is a Linux executable) with Netscape for
FreeBSD? I thought that this was not possible.
