Bug 13881 – nspluginscan not available in KDE 3.1_rc6

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Gert-Jan Rodenburg 2003-01-13 18:29:28 UTC]

I know it is a ~x86 release, but since it seems to made kinda the 'next' KDE for the 'next' 
Gentoo release, a bugreport nonetheless. 
 
When in Konqueror -> settings ->Pluggins -> scan for new pluggins, an error is thrown: The 
nspluginscan executable cannot be found. Netscape plugins will not be scanned. 
 
This seems to me as a missing program. It is in KDE 3.0.5 (with various patches) as part of 
KDE-base, but it is NOT in kde 3.1 rc6, and since the configurator seems to want it, I guess it 
should be there... 
 
Where has it gone? Or have I missed something...

by the way... KDE 3.1_rc6 are the only packages emerged with ~X86

i have a '/usr/kde/3.1/bin/nspluginscan' which was installed by kdebase-3.1_rc6 
(according to /var/db/pkg/kde-base/kdebase-3.1_rc6/CONTENTS). 
 
please grep for nspluginscan there. also append 'emerge info' and 'env | grep -i 
kde'. 
 
thanks.

As you see, nothing there. 
Could it be that we are chasing something here that is caused by: 
 
big-iron root # env ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge  kde 
? 
 
That is how I emerged it.

hmm, you remember anything strange about your build process? 
please reemerge kdebase, log it to a file and attach this file here. thanks. 

[Comment 5 Gert-Jan Rodenburg 2003-01-20 00:47:58 UTC]

Can do that, but, I managed to smash my partitiontable, so had to to a full reinstall... the sheer 
joy :( 
 
'Good' news is.. Still no nspluginscan. So it is reproducable, at least, on my machine. 
 
Could it have something to do with the CFLAGS? I don't have the mozilla flag enabled, 
nspluginscan doing some netscape-magic.. Or are mozilla and netscape that far apart 
nowadays that cannot be 'the missing link'? 
 
I'll do a logged emerge of kdebase and attach it here.... 

[Comment 6 Hannes Mehnert (RETIRED) 2003-01-20 07:29:25 UTC]

well, did your CFLAGS and/or USE change between kdebase-3.0.5a 
and kdebase-3.1_rc6 compiling? 

[Comment 7 Václav Hùla 2003-01-27 04:20:28 UTC]

something like 
 
export USE="+motif"; emerge openmotif; emerge kdebase 
 
should help. At least it did to me;). 
 

[Comment 8 Gert-Jan Rodenburg 2003-01-28 06:41:30 UTC]

That indeed solves it.... the nspluginscan needs openmotif plus the accociated USE 
flag. 
 
Thanks! 

[Comment 9 Dan Armak (RETIRED) 2003-02-01 15:08:39 UTC]

Yes, it's an optional feature (not a bug!) that's only enabled it motif is in use. So, closing.
