Hello
I am using nppd.so ad aplugin for PDF files in Epiphany.
Plugin installed from ports (pluginwrapper)
Epiphany 1.06
FreeBSD 5.2.1
Flash plugin works great,
Acrobat reader works great by itself.
When I attempt to view a PDF file in epiphany from a URL, nppd.so
attempts to launch acrobat reader and hangs at the splash screen.
(Force quit to get out of it)
Anybody solve this one before?
TIA for thoughts.
More info:
the file nppd.so is a link:
in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 48 Aug 16 12:02 nppdf.so -> /usr/local/
Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so
in /etc/libmap.conf
# Acrobat with Opera
[/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nppdf.so]
libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/acrobat.so
# Acrobat with Konqueror
# KDE on FreeBSD requires plugins to be placed in /opt/mozilla/
plugins/.
# (unlike many other www browsers on X11, it does not support
# /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/ for a plugin directory)
# So please copy nppdf.so to /opt/mozilla/plugins/ like following
lines.
# mkdir -p /opt/mozilla/plugins
# cd /usr/local/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux
# cp nppdf.so /opt/mozilla/plugins/
[/opt/mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so]
libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/acrobat.so
# Acrobat with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany
[/usr/local/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so]
libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/acrobat.so
