Followed your instructions, put my linux-flashplugin and acroread plugin

I was asked off-list how I set up the plugin search path to get this
stuff
working. Copying my reply here in case it's useful to anyone else:
First you'll need to have the www/linux-flashplugin7 and print/acroread7
ports installed - these obviously require the Linux emulation layer to be
installed (emulators/linux_base-fc4 port) and enabled (linux_enable="YES"
in /etc/rc.conf).
Then all I did in Opera was:
- Open the Tools -> Preferences dialog
- Switch to the "Advanced" tab then pick "Content" from the left-hand
menu
- Make sure plugins are enabled
- Open the "Plug-in options" dialog
- Click on "Change path..." and add these two paths to the list:
/usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin
/local/X11R6/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/ENU/Browser/intellinux
Those are the locations of the libflashplayer.so and nppdf.so plugin
libraries - I expect the paths will be the same on your machine
- Click "OK" to get out of the plug-in path dialog
- Click "Find new" on the Plugins dialog - you should get the "Adobe
Reader
7.0" and "Shockwave Flash" plugins listed now.
- OK out of all the dialogs and try browsing some sites with Flash or PDF
documents on them...
I did have both Flash and Acrobat already working with the Linux Firefox
port and partly working with native Firefox, so I wouldn't guarantee that
some of the stuff I have in /etc/libmap.conf (essentially whatever the
linuxpluginwrapper port told me to use) isn't important.
I can guarantee it isn't important :). Since Opera forks off a Linux
process to run the actual plugin, the libmap.conf entries are ignored (and
unnecessary). For all the plugin knows, it's running in the Linux version
of Opera.
