>Description:
After fresh cvsup of ports tree today. I portsupgraded linux-flashplugin to version: linux-flashplugin-6.0r79_1. After restarting linux-opera, flash no longer works. The version of linux-flashplugin that I had working successfully was: linux-flashplugin-6.0r79. My version of linux-opera is: linux-opera-7.23.20031119

This is the procedure I did prior to running portupgrade:
1) You will need to tweak the Makefile, which it was designed for Mozilla.
 
# cd /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin6
# vi Makefile
 
Change from...
 
 
code:
 
PLUGINSDIR=lib/linux-mozilla/plugins
 
to...
 
 
code:
 
USE_X_PREFIX=yes
PLUGINSDIR=share/opera/plugins
 
Save and exit it.
 
# portupgrade -R linux-flashplugin-6.0r79

This finished successfully.
 
 
2) Close Opera and run it again.

After linux-opera restart, I then browsed to:  http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/

Flash animation does not load.
