I've heard of two ways to get it to work. You either need to use a
linux Mozilla binary, or install the "linuxpluginwrapper" port. Taking
the latter route like I did, you need the following in libmap.conf (this
is documented somewhere...):
# Flash6 with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany
[/usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so]
libpthread.so.0 liblthread.so.3
libdl.so.2 pluginwrapper/flash6.so
libz.so.1 libz.so.2
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 liblstdc++.so.4
libm.so.6 libm.so.2
libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/flash6.so
Finally, you do need a symlink in Mozilla's plugin directory. The URL
about:plugins will list the loaded plugins, and you can go to
about:config and set plugin.expose_full_path to true to find where
libnullplugin.so is being loaded from and put the symlink there. For
me, plugins are in /usr/local/lib/mozilla-1.7a/plugins, but the path for
the Mozilla port may be slightly different than for a CVS build.
