Hi, I am trying to get a certain music site to play on my AMD Athlon 64
3000+ system that I built for myself, and on two AMD Sempron and Duron
systems that I built for friends of mine. All 3 of these systems are
using Fedora Core 3, with all of the most recent updates (using the
up2date utility).
This is the site we are having problems with:
http://www.dishant.com
I have downloaded and installed the latest Linux versions of all of the
following Firefox plugins (we all use Firefox as our web browser):
- Helix Player Version: MS1 and later
- RealPlayer 10 Version: 10.0.0.297
- Macromedia Flash Player Version: 7.0r25
All of the above were downloaded from this site:
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Flash
In a terminal window, 'whence realplay' (we all use /bin/ksh) returns
the following:
/usr/bin/realplay
The following symbolic link exists in /usr/bin:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jan 12 00:01 realplay -
/usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay
I have made the following symbolic links in
the /usr/include/mozilla-1.7.3/plugin directory:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Jan 8 08:27 libgtkhx.so -
/usr/lib/realplay/libgtkhx.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 52 Jan 8 08:32 libflashplayer.so -
/root/install_flash_player_7_linux/libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 Jan 8 08:33 flashplayer.xpt -
/root/install_flash_player_7_linux/flashplayer.xpt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Jan 12 00:04 nphelix.so -
/usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Jan 12 00:06 nphelix.xpt -
/usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.xpt
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 12 00:06 .
The following symbolic links are in
the /usr/include/mozilla-1.7.3/embedcomponents directory:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 Jan 8 08:52 flashplayer.xpt -
/root/install_flash_player_7_linux/flashplayer.xpt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Jan 12 08:56 nphelix.xpt -
/usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.xpt
When we try to play any music from the www.dishant.com site, it claims
that the RealPlayer 10 and Flash Player 7 Firefox plugins are not
installed.
>From a Firefox window, selecting Tools -> Extensions shows that nothing
has been installed for Firefox.
What am I doing wrong? I believe that I have followed all of the
instructions from the http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Flash site
correctly, yet none of the Firefox plugins that I have downloaded and
installed seem to be recognized.
Sincerely,

Firts thing, in my opinion is to check your /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
directory rather than your
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.<minor_version>/plugins directory. In the
above path you should have the links to the helix player, the mplayer
plugin (mplayerplug-in.so file) if you did install that and probably a
link to your JRE plugin. The Flash plugin SHOULD be installed directly
under Firefox's plugins directory in /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins. To
find out what plugins do you have installed in Firefox, type in the
location bar '
