Hi all, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH issue for the linux plugin is still annoying.
I tried to use a proxy shared lib, which sets up an appriopriate path using setenv() and then calls dlopen() on the plugin lib. But it fails because LD_LIBRARY_PATH is only evaluated once during startup of the firefox program. It cannot be manipulated later. any more ideas? regards Ralph Ralph Kern schrieb: > Hi Andreas, > > I'm making some progress in the linux port.
