Yesterday I cvsup'ed and upgraded my ports, using the procedure I've
been using for quite some time. After it was done, most of my Mozilla
plug-ins no longer work. I did not upgrade my operating system at that
time, since I'm already at the latest patchlevel.
The specific issues are with acroread7, flash and mplayer-plugin. All of
these worked as plug-ins before the upgrade, but now none of them do.
Acroread7 and mplayer work fine in their standalone application
incarnations, but not as plug-ins. Curiously, the java plug-in still
works fine. In Mozilla, about:plugins shows java and the mplayer stuff,
but not anything pertaining to Acrobat or PDFs.
Here is what I've done to try to fix this:
tripel# mv /etc/libmap.conf /etc/libmap.conf.old
tripel# cp
/usr/local/share/examples/linuxpluginwrapper/libmap.conf-FreeBSD5-stable
/etc/libmap.conf
/etc/libmap.conf - both the new and old versions - have an entry like
# Acrobat7 with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany/Konqueror/Kazehakase
[/usr/compat/linux/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so]
libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/acrobat.so
libc.so.6 exists; it's a symlink to libc-2.3.2.so, both in
/usr/compat/linux/lib. However, the path shown in [square brackets] does
not exist. Does it need to? man libc.conf doesn't say anything about
those square bracket entries. On the off chance, I tried creating that
heirarchy of directories and touch'ing nppdf.so, but no love so I got
rid of it.
$ ls /usr/local/lib/pluginwrapper
acrobat.so flash7.so java3d.so oci8.so realplayer.so
flash6.so jai.so java3d_snd.so pips.so
A search of the list archive turned up a post saying that you have to
have linprocfs mounted *before* doing the *install* on
linuxpluginwrapper. I made that happen; relevant df output is
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
linprocfs 4 4 0 100% /usr/compat/linux/proc
I then deinstalled the following via 'make deinstall', then did 'make
reinstall' in this order:
print/acroread7
www/mozilla
www/linuxpluginwrapper
www/linux-flashplugin
www/mplayer-plugin
Question: Can someone point me to a writeup of what I need to do, in
what order, to repair this?
Thanks very much.

Search the list archives for "Flash Plugin in 6.0" and "Flash no longer
displayed in Firefox". It's an issue with the linuxpluginwrapper port,
several methods to make it work are described in those recent threads.
HTH,
