Description Kris Kersey (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-24 06:39:01 UTC
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]

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 ...

Comment 2 Brad Laue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-24 21:51:55 UTC
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?
Comment 3 Brad House 2003-10-24 22:26:41 UTC
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.
