Hey there,
currently nspluginwrapper tries to wrap x86_64 plugins (like native x86_64
flash player plugin), but there is only i386 npviewer which is needed to run
the plugins. You can see the problem from the following output, which are a
more verbose form of the scripts run through nspluginwrapper filetrigger:
$ nspluginwrapper -v -i /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
*** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so:
wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
In my and Anssi's opinion, nspluginwrapper.script (from nspluginwrapper
filetrigger,
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/nspluginwrapper/current/SOURCES/nspluginwrapper.script?view=markup
) should be modified by excluding /usr/lib64. BTW the scripts run during
nspluginwrapper installation/removal get it right by only using /usr/lib:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/nspluginwrapper/current/SPECS/nspluginwrapper.spec?view=markup
Anybody more knowledgeable on nspluginwrapper care to share his opinion, or are
there other reasons for objections?
Also are there good reasons to still use nspluginwraper for flash player at
all, as all current browser support out-of-thread execution of plugins and
flash-player-plugin is available as native i586 and x86_64 plugins?
