KDE 3.0.5a and missing "Netscape Plugins"

JJh · n00b Joined: 21 Jan 2003 Posts: 4

Hello!
After a fresh install of Gentoo 1.4rc2 I did an emerge kde. It compiled, and it seemed to work okay until I found out that I couldn't find Netscape Plugins section in Control Center. It seems that it hasn't built, any ideas what's wrong and how to fix it?

Okay, how does that help my problem? I don't have any problems installing plugins but to configure the motif-wrapper and defining the directories where kde's konqueror finds 'em. I'm missing the nsplugin module from Control Center or perhaps the whole plugin stuff from kde. But why is it missing ? How do I install it? Do I have to make an 'emerge kdebase' ? Ideas, anyone?

You need to emerge the netscape plugins and then the ebuild will automatically* set up KDE to use them. If you havent emerged the two listed above then you wont have the working netscape plugins.

* This is provided you installed KDE from the portage menu, be it either through GRP or from source.

Do you have openmotif emerged? I had this problem before, see https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=10591

Yes, openmotif is installed, was installed while emerging kde....

Would having lesstif installed and then rebuild kdelibs and kdebase make a difference?

bash-2.05b$ ls /var/db/pkg/x11-libs
gtk+-1.2.10-r9/ openmotif-2.2.2-r1/ qt-3.1.0/

Ok, recompilled kdebase & kdelibs and still no plugin's found.

but! both of these are installed:
32076 2003-01-22 20:29 /usr/kde/3/bin/nspluginscan*
92196 2003-01-22 20:29 /usr/kde/3/bin/nspluginviewer*

as well as the libraries:
1426 2003-01-22 20:29 /usr/kde/3/lib/libnsplugin.la*
20 2003-01-22 20:29 /usr/kde/3/lib/libnsplugin.so -> libnsplugin.so.1.0.1*
20 2003-01-22 20:29 /usr/kde/3/lib/libnsplugin.so.1 -> libnsplugin.so.1.0.1*
126327 2003-01-22 20:29 /usr/kde/3/lib/libnsplugin.so.1.0.1*

and here's the error message i get starting kde:
QComboBox::setCurrentItem: (history combo) Index 0 out of range
QComboBox::changeItem: (history combo) Index 0 out of range
QComboBox::setCurrentItem: (history combo) Index 0 out of range
bitBlt: Incompatible destination pixmap

kdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: KLibrary: The library kcm_konq does not offer an init_kcm_konq function

Any idea's as to a solution?

Thanks

David
