Since both have already been done here, I'll bottom-post since I'm old- school enough to think that seeing the context _before_ the new stuff is more important than the convenience of not having to scroll) Having gotten that out of my system, I believe your problem _may_ be this (I don't have the Ribbit plugin, whatever that is, but I do have Vuze): Vuze is _Java_, with a wrapper around it to make and application out of it. By default, the system will run the 64-bit version of the Java JVM. I'm _guessing_ that the plugin is a binary as well as Java bytecode, with the binary extending the JVM with (whatever); if that's the case, and the JVM is running 64-bit and the binary extension is 32-bit only, it wouldn't work. I would suppose a better workaround would be to somehow re-create the wrapper to start 32-bit Java explicitly for that app only (so that the 32-bit binary extension would work). But another workaround (that probably has more widespread side-effects) might be to use the Java preferences (/Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app) to change the preferred order for Java _Applications_ (the bottom of the screen, _not_ the top which is for Java _Applets_ in the web browser) to prefer 32-bit first (this is on the General tab). If that guess is valid, the _real_ fix (probably not much harder than tweaking the wrapper somehow, but who knows without looking at the source) would be to for the binary component of the plugin to be recompiled as a universal (32/64 bit) binary. Just a guess, but seems reasonable...let us (and the Ribbit developer, if they're not on this list) know... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
