It comes from the rest of the instructions section, namely "nspluginwrapper -v -a -i". So does this mean that instructions in handbook are wrong? > When it's followed in it's entirety, it works.

If you don't get output similar to this: > nspluginwrapper -l /home/adam/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so Original plugin: /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so Plugin viewer: /usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer Wrapper version string: 1.4.4-1 then you have not followed the instructions completely. -- Adam Vande More _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
