[expert] Flashplayer plugin for netscape - Help, please...

2001-04-23 Thread John Wolford

Hello all,

I'm trying to get flashplayer to work as a plugin for Netscape. I'v got
netscape-communicator-4.76-3.3mdk
netscape-common-4.76-3.3mdk
on my system. I went to the flash site and downloaded the package for 
linux, followed the (super
easy) directions, and so far flash continues to not work.

So far i have copied 
 ShockwaveFlash.class  
 libflashplayer.so
into both 
 /usr/lib/netscape/plugins
 ~/.netscape/plugins
and still whenever i visit a site with flash on it, i get the Netscape 
error message: A plugin
for the mime type application/x-shockwave-flash was not found.
Ive looked in ~/.netscape/plugin-list but it's a bit too cryptic. It 
only has an entry for Java
(and it's a huge entry), and i don't think i can mimmick it for 
flashplayer - and i'm sure i
shouldn't have to.

Typing about:plugins into Netscape brings up a big whack of Java 
component plugins but nothing
else.

Has anyone been through this?

Any help would be much appreciated :-)
Thanks,
j
