On my system mplayerplug-in does not use seamonkey but uses mozilla-firefox.
Also note that I'm using ~x86 version of mplayerplug-in. But if you dont have
a working plugin yet, I suggest you take a look at this addon for firefox,
seamonkey and mozilla:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/446/
Quoted from the site:
Allow you to launch embed video of website in an external application with a
simple click
* Replace the stream by a simple button
* Add a download icon in the status bar
* And/Or add links to right click
* Works with RealMedia, QuickTime, WindowsMedia, Playlists, Flash, background
sounds, Nullsoft video, Shockwave
* Allow the use of any capable media player (with command line support)
* Support Media Metafiles (ram, rpm, wmv, wm, wma, asx, asf, ...)
* Activable per media format
* AutoPlay feature : automaticatlly start to play the first media
* Configuration wizard
* SmartPlay : automatically search and choose the best source using metafile
('+' icon) if exist
* List all media links on the webpage
* Use a sidebar for lists
* Multilingual
Hope this helps,
Masood Ahmed.
P.S: The gentoo-wiki says there is a mplayerplug-in-bin ebuild. But the link

Hi,
I recommend you do "revdep-rebuild", it'll be less time consuming than
"emerge -e world". Both will result in system without broken
dependencies.
After you've solved this problem, by doing revdep-rebuild, you can use
my updating policy.
emerge --sync
emerge -uD world
emerge --depclean
revdep-rebuild

It can be done, the best example of it being done is the NVidia kernel module. Although it seems, you want to compile a module inside a kernel tree. I think it'll be lot complex. I dont have any hands on experience in this, but i suggest take a look at the Makefiles of other kernel modules available outside the kernel tree. Sorry cant give you specifics on how to do it.

[gentoo-user] How to get notified of new mail in custom mail folders
Hi, I have a email system comprising of fetchmail, to fetchmail mail from pop servers. Procmail, to filter the incoming mail and mutt to read it. Now what i want to know is, is there some way so that i can make bash display "You've a new mail" everytime i log in? I dont store my email in default place (/var/mail) but in my home directory. Kindly please help. Thanks in advance, Masood Ahmed -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I dont think ia64 is the right profile, as far as i know ia64 is for itanium and is incompatible with x86_64 architectures. The best bet would be to use x86 profile and define the CHOST and CFLAGS for EM64T. > PS:there's also a minimal-install-CD.2006.0 & stages for ia64. > HTH.Rumen It'd be a waste of time downloading ia64 cd because it wont run of EM64T or any other x86 systems anyway. This backward compatibility was the major reason why Intel's 64-bit plans failed, and AMD's 64-bit plans won. PS: I personally prefer AMD64 over EM64T, performance wise it's far better than its intel counterpart. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
