Re: How to get Huawei EC1561 USB modem working under FreeBSD, 8.2? Moving on to the next problem :-) - Flash in Firefox
Hi, Thanks for your inputs. I have finally got FreeBSD to speak to the internet. Now I have one more problem before I can live in peace. I am fond of a game hosted via the Discovery channel's website : http://news.discovery.com/human/games-lumosity-word-bubbles.html The game needs Adobe flash player. So I installed linux-f10-flashplugin11. But firefox 5.0 does not seem to integrate with it well. I then tried installing a couple of more ports, including swfdec and gnash. Still firefox won't play the game. Is there something special I need to do ? Thanks for any help. -- Regards, Manish Jain +91-99620-10329 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Allow me to add: Some ports do not directly install the binaries into $LOCALBASE/bin (/usr/local/bin typically), but instead into /usr/local/something/bin and then make a symlink. An example is gprolog: /usr/local/gprolog-1.4.0/bin/pl2wam /usr/local/gprolog-1.4.0/bin/gprolog In your case, it's not that easy because the specified port directory does not contain a package list, and the Makefile includes a different file from lang/ghc which contains some binary locations. That directory also contains a pkg-plist file which has entries such as bin/ghc bin/ghci bin/ghc-pkg bin/runhaskell bin/haddock-ghc-%%GHC_VERSION%% bin/ghci-%%GHC_VERSION%% bin/hsc2hs bin/ghc-pkg-%%GHC_VERSION%% bin/runghc bin/ghc-%%GHC_VERSION%% bin/hp2ps bin/hpc I'm quite confident that this is what you've been searching for. Again, depending on metaporting and dependency construction, the binaries may be recorded in /var/db/pkg as described in my previous message. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
