Hope this list is still alive. I consider mailing lists to be easier archived than IRC. This will pay of in long term, not asking the same questions over and over again. Because x86_64 is lacking official support for flash, i tried to install gnash 0.8.1 to use its firefox plugin as alternative. After some trying and copying from Arch Linux i ended with the attached FrugalBuild. Yes i know i should use macros from util.sh in the build function ;-) The resulting packet seems to be ok, at least for me. After installing the package the plugin is located in the right place: > mickraus@gandalf:~$ ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins > libgnashplugin.so libmozsvgdec.a libmozsvgdec.la libmozsvgdec.so ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > libnpsoplugin.so But when i visit a homepage with flash, e.g. www.youtube.com, i see no flash content and get the following error message in the terminal: sh: /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer: No such file ordirectory *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: failed to execute NSPlugin viewer *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: failed to initialize plugin-side RPC client connection *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NP_Initialize() invoke: Connection was NULL Actually i thought gnash would be a 64 bit binary and file command seconds that. Does gnash really need nspluginwrapper? If so, i will try to get it going. But i am lazy, hence i am asking before start working ;-) Did anyone ever try to use gnash an Frugalware x86_64?

Hi, [ big snip ] gnash does not work right on i686 ( with a bit of magic it will not eat your box and play flash but is not 'usable for daily' usage.) so does not expect it to work on amd64 at all. Ohh and we have already gnash in the developer repos so next time just ask on IRC you may save time and get actually and 'working' FrugalBuild ( I mean not such a hacked I rip from arch foo stuff off one ) , even actually 'gnash' itself does not work fine. crazy From hippodriver at gmx.net Tue Oct 23 15:13:03 2007 From: hippodriver at gmx.net (Michael Krauss) Date: Tue Oct 23 15:16:41 2007 Subject: [Frugalware-users] gnash plugin in firefox on x86_64 In-Reply-To: <20071022181506.GP23810@genesis.frugalware.org> References: <20071022194856.4cb72d4f@gandalf> <20071022181506.GP23810@genesis.frugalware.org> Message-ID: <20071023151303.39bc5425@gandalf> Hello again!

None of the two plugins work in firefox. With swfdec i get the same error messages as with gnash. 2. In seamonkey both plugins do work. But as VMiklos and crazy stated, gnash is not able to play the movies at youtube. By contrast swfdec plays everything, even movies at youtube. Conclusions: Swfdec is the way to go on x86_64. Firefox plugin support seems to be broken in a sense, at least on x86_64.
