I don't think that netscape supports plugins, i to use the flash plugin (the free one not macromedia's) some time ago but netscape never recognized the plugin :( Kostas Gewrgiou. On Wed, 27 Oct 1999, Kevin_Hendricks wrote:
Hi, I now have the source to the java plugin for Netscape/Mozilla (via my license with Blackdown) and I have ported both the java plugin 1.1.2 (allowing the use of jdk118 inside Netscape and plugin 1.2 (to allow the forthcoming jdk 1.2.2 to work within netscape). I have been unable to get either plugin to be recognized by the latest Netscape rpm available from LinuxPPC. I went and downloaded the Sparc version of the plugin to see how the whole process worked under Solaris and noticed that the Solaris Netscape plugins already includes a libnullplugin.so which does not seem to exist in the ppc version of Netscape. The description of libnullplugin.so is that it helps support plugins under Netscape. Should there be a libnullplugin.so in /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/ under ppc? Is it needed to get other plugins to work? Any info here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kevin -- Kevin B.
