Look at the following link for firefox and flash 9. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Flash_9_and_Firefox Though the link talks about firefox, the method is same for seamonkey. -- Regards, Abhay signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I exited and logged back into KDE What did I miss? I have firefox-bin installed and working but seamonkey is not the binary version. I wanted to get flash working on this amd64 system by correctly compiling and setting up the files. Perhaps I need to manually download the plugin sources, put them under /usr/portage/somewhere; edit a few files and rebuild the sources? ideas or a wiki would be keen.

Sorry for the unnecessary noise. What arch are you running? Is it x86 or amd64? You have installed firefox-bin or you have compiled firefox yourself? -- Regards, Abhay signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I just found this page: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux-amd64.html#nswrapper-install-src 3/4ths the way down the page is says: Flash Player 9.0 (nspluginwrapper) Version: 7.0r68 SeaMonkey 1.1a, Firefox 2.0: Works Well FAQ: Flash Player FAQ After installing nspluginwrapper, install Flash Player to a location of your choice (/usr/lib/browser-plugins/ is suggested), then run the following command: nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so Will this work on Gentoo, as is, or are there further modifications.

You need to make sure that seamonkey knows about your flash plugin. Try to make soft link to flash plugin in your ~/.mozilla/plugins directory. Then start seamonkey and check whether you have flash mentioned under about:plugins now. -- Regards, Abhay signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

NO, I found them, but, I'm not sure how to install a tar.gz file on gentoo, and have it as part of the regularly maintained files. This is very likely the problem. I never thoght that something like that would not be part of the ebuild, as flash just works as part of the firefox ebuild. > Also did you try starting seamonkey from a terminal window to see > if it throws any errors at you? I'll give this a whirl and see if any additional errors are given. James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
