Library errors appear to stop the flash plugin and java plugin from loading on amd64. This may just be a matter of getting some x86 compat libraries. Here's the error: LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so [/opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so [/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] Here is the outputs of ldd: $ ldd /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so libpthread.so.0 => /lib32/libpthread.so.0 (0x5578f000) libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0x557de000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libz.so.1 (0x557e1000) libX11.so.6 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x557ef000) libXext.so.6 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x558c6000) libXt.so.6 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x558d5000) libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 => not found libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0x55925000) libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0x55946000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x56554000) libSM.so.6 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x55a5d000) libICE.so.6 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x55a66000) $ ldd /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so libxpcom.so => not found libXt.so.6 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x5559c000) libX11.so.6 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x555ec000) libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0x556c2000) libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib32/gcc-lib/i386-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.3/libstdc++.so.5 (0x556c6000) libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0x55794000) libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0x557b5000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib32/gcc-lib/i386-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.3/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x558cc000) libSM.so.6 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x558d5000) libICE.so.6 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x558dd000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x56554000)
Umm, augustus, don't even report bugs like this dude .... Think about it. You cannot load a 32bit object into a 64bit executable. It's impossible, it'll never happen, yada yada ... -Brad
Look into mozilla-firebird-bin for plugin compatibility. brad_mssw, can you look into making it work with the x86-compat stuff you're doing?
yeah, I'll check to see what dependancies aren't satisified by my current emul-linux-x86 stuff. But I agree, going with the 32bit mozilla-firebird-bin is a pretty good option if you need a browser w/ general plugins on amd64. -B
