yea mozilla plugins work with galeon, just copy the plugin files (or link them) to:

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

galeon uses the same plugins as mozilla .. it's the same engine used for rendering. at least flash, java and acrobat work fine, don't know what else i have installed

elcondor, what version of acrobat do you have working, and what files did you copy to mozilla's plugins directory? Any other configuration needed?

I just coppied nppdf.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, but acrobat is not working with galeon.

acroread 5.05 is installed (but actually xpdf can display more files with strange fonts

) - the only configuration for plugins in galeon I made was emerge galeon

Did I already mention that I love this distribution?

Is Acrobat in the portage tree? Is acrobat running inline (inside the browser) or as a helper app? I can get it to work as a helper app, but as a plugin has been a no can go.

Code: Select all

PHIEPS root # emerge -s acro   
[ Results for search key : acro ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]
 
*  app-text/acroread
      Latest version Available: 5.05-r1
      Latest version Installed: 5.05-r1
      Homepage: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/
      Description: Adobe's PDF reader

acrobat is of course not in the portage tree, since it's commercial and still not available for linux

but acroread runs inline in galeon.

the flash plugin actually is in /opt/netscape/plugins/ - maybe galeon looks there for it's. try

Code: Select all

emerge net-www/netscape-flash

Plugins don't work with GCC 3.x yet, just wanted to mention it.
