Hi all,
I'm trying to set up Firefox to use a flash plug-in (video playback went 
great with mplayerplug-in, thanks Ian, Andrew and Adi...). I installed 
linux-flashplugin-7.0r25_2 via portinstall. Then tried to install 
linuxpluginwrapper but installation failed. Seems like it needs 
glib2-2.2.1-1.i386.rpm but this doesn't install. I get the following :

===>   linux-gtk2-2.2.1_5 depends on file: 
/compat/linux/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 - not found

  I then tried to portinstall linux-glib2 but it didn't work either. 
Haven't found much in /usr/ports/UPDATING, except the following 
paragraph which I'm not sure applies to me as I'm using KDE. Besides I 
was installing, not upgrading.

20050312:
   AFFECTS: all users who have glib/gtk/gnome libraries installed
   AUTHOR: ahze at FreeBSD.org and the FreeBSD gnome team

   Gnome has been upgraded to 2.10 and gtk/glib to 2.6.
   DO NOT USE portupgrade(1) to update any gnome or gtk
   or any port that depends on them. Using portupgrade
   will cause problems and you will have to manually
   upgrade ports.  Please use the gnome_upgrade.sh
   script from
     http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/gnome_upgrade.sh



Any suggestions ?
Thanks guys,
Edward
