Firebird with gplflash

The library netscape-flash keeps crashing my browser when visting flash sites (only then). No error message. Firebird just freezes and I have to kill the process.
So what do I try to do naturally? Get Firebird to work with the library gplflash. After having found out that I have to edit the file ~/.mozilla/pluginreg.dat to point to the correct shared library (/opt/netscape/plugins/npflash.so) I get an error, when starting Firebird from the terminal. The error message:

LoadPLugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/netscape/plugins/npflash.so [/opt/netscape/plugins/npflash.so: undefined symbol: __dso_handle]

Well, knowing how helpful google is, I found a site (http://hbasic.sourceforge.net/bug_desc/ ... .1_02.html) which describes the solution to my problem:

Code: Select all

./configure --with-dso_handle

But the source of the gplflash library will not allow to do a configure, one can only run make (check yourself by unpacking the sources).
Any other ways I can rebuild this whole thing to get it to work. Does anyone know any further details on this __dso_handle stuff?

Cheers

@McFly0: So you're telling him to try netscape-flash, the very plugin that crashes his browser?

No, as u see in the topic. I guess he tried the GPL-Flash

Um folks... read... Used netscape, it crashed... Tried GPL Flash... not working... seriously...

As a side note, I have never been able to get all the plugins (flash, shockwave, mplayer or gxine, pdf) all working together in Firebird. I somehow got Konquerer to play nice, then the hard drive crashed... oh well...

I would be interested in a solution... On a side note, some browser configuration how tos would be nice in the docs.

On my system, flash works correctly.

That's what I'm using:

Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1 with netscape-flash/6.0.79
