I have the debain 2.2 instaled, and i try tu use any of the new versions from netscape, but I can use any plugins, neither the ones preinstaled. With "about:plugins" I get the correct directory "/usr/local/netscape/plugins" but I Only get the libnull plugin and if I make a manual instalation of anyone it doesn`t recognize it.


    Any idea???

        Thank all you for your help

This may or may not have any bearing on Netscape; it did fix my Mozilla plugins problems on Debian. I found it at:
http://www.linuxarkivet.nu/mlists/redhat-list/0102/msg02707.html

For you list searchers of the future:

environment:
RedHat 6.2
most if not all errata updates
mozilla 0.8 talkback binary mozilla nightly from 20010224 mozilla installed in user's home dir ( suspect this will work in /usr
also)
Issue:  no jre (java plugin) registerd after install no flash pluging
after install
   no working Flash plugin after placing so and clas in the
mozilla/plugins dir
Searching bugzilla.mozilla.org, I found the following worked for me

Solution:

after making sure the link in mozilla/plugins/  libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
../plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
was created by the jre.xpi during install, I then had to manually create
a link in mozilla/ libXt.so -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6

an viola java and flash. There are several related bugs in bugzilla. My guess is that it may be a configuration issue with certain distros
but at least there is a work around.

mozilla seems to work pretty darn well BTW.

HTH sombody,
