I installed both netscape-flash, and when I run epiphany I see LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashpl ayer.so [/opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so: cannot open shared object file : No such file or directory] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashpl ayer.so [/opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so: cannot open shared object file : No such file or directory] But the file does exist: floam@home ~ $ ls -l /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2096844 Dec 27 20:03 /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so
I see this as well, on amd64 only. I'm guessing Moz fails to load the 32-bit shared object, and defaults to a "missing file" error, even though the file is there.
Is the original reporter on amd64 also?(always include the output of emerge info like it says)
Judging by how it says "Hardware: amd64" that is my assumption.
hm so it is, thanks.
Same here with netscape-flash-6.0.81 and mozilla-firefox-1.0.1 (amd64 architecture) The following emulation libraries are installed emul-linux-x86-glibc-1.1 emul-linux-x86-baselibs-1.2.2-r2 emul-linux-x86-xlibs-1.2-r3 emul-linux-x86-qtlibs-1.1 emul-linux-x86-compat-1.0
Actually, opera loads same plugin fine
That'd be because Opera is not open source, and Portage installed a 32-bit binary.
64bit browsers cannot load 32bit plugins. There are two options to get flash: Install a binary browser (like firefox-bin, opera and such) or make konqueror load 32bit plugins - see the forums on how to achieve this. Marking as CANTFIX since I don't have flashplayer sources ;-)
