Discounting those, there are no symlinks from either /usr/lib/mozilla or /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4 to /usr/lib/netscape. Going the other way: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lib]# cd /usr/lib/netscape [EMAIL PROTECTED] netscape]# ls -l total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 11 13:42 plugins/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] netscape]# cd plugins [EMAIL PROTECTED] plugins]# ls -l total 1656 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 856 Mar 6 09:29 flashplayer.xpt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1456196 Mar 6 09:29 libflashplayer.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 Aug 11 10:16 mozplugger.so -> ../../../../usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mozplugger.so* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 79864 Jan 7 2003 nppdf.so* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4139 May 10 2001 raclass.zip -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 129360 Jan 9 2003 rpnp.so* [EMAIL PROTECTED] plugins]# There is one link to mozplugger.so in /usr/lib/mozilla. The problem is, mozilla only seems to be looking in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/plugins, while that last link indicates that somebody thinks mozilla should only be looking at /usr/lib/netscape, and created the link so that stuff in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins would be seen. >From the pluginref.dat file, it appears to be looking in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/plugins, but not /usr/lib/netscape. My guess is that it used to look in /usr/lib/netscape and NOT /usr/lib/mozilla, and somebody switched it. Unfortunately, plugin packagers don't seem to agree. My humble opinion is that /usr/lib/mozilla probably ought to be a symlink to /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4, and the code should be looking in /usr/lib/mozilla and /usr/lib/netscape. Or, better still, make /usr/lib/netscape a symlink to /usr/lib/mozilla so that packages which install there go to the newer mozilla directory. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I noticed today that the FlashPlayer 6.0 plugin (from Commercial) was not showing up in the "About Plugins" list. When I checked, I found that the Flash RPM installs into /usr/lib/netscape/plugins rather than /usr/lib/mozilla*. Once I created links from /usr/lib/netscape/plugins to /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/plugins, it worked fine. I don't think this used to be the case. When I first built this system (around the beginning of the month), I remember installing Flash and seeing it work immediately.
