nspluginwrapper in AMD64

[DeepDude]

Hey guys. I'm a very new FreeBSD user and fell under an nspluginwrapper error message while trying to install flashplayer for firefox3. I am on AMD Turion64x2 Laptop computer with AMD 64 bit FreeBSD-7.2-RELEASE installed.

To give a general summary of what I did, I went to www/linux-flashplugin9 and installed through port system along with www/nspluginwrapper. I also checked if I had emulators/linux_base-fc4 installed and I did. Following the handbook as directed. Next, I made sure the linprocfs is mounted manually and in the fstab: all in the working order until I received few of the errors below after the command nspluginwrapper -v -a -i.

The first error message I received was:

/usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This was fixed by these two commands:

ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib
ldconfig -m /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib

However, after running nspluginwrapper -a -v -i again I received this error message:

*** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I took a look in /usr/lib and to see that I did not have libnss3.so in the library. I googled for what may be the problem but found it short of any answers (probably also because of my inexperience in this). Also to add that none of the libnss3* are in my /usr/lib. I have also deinstalled www/linux-flashplugin9 and installed www/linuxflashplugin7, after reading 7 runs perfectly without tweaking according to some but with the similar message as above, I deinstalled 7 and installed 9.

If there is any solution to the problem or that there is a rightful place where I could be lead to, that'll be great. I apologize if the question was asked already.

Please post the output of

# pkg_info | grep linux

I have a feeling you're missing a few linux-* ports. And you're probably better off with linux_base-f8 (or f10).

I'm going to make an update. I was able to fix the issue by installing emulator/linux_base-f8/ and deinstalling and reinstalling linux-plugins7 and www/nspluginswrapper. I also did some few tweaking. Fortunately, I don't have to explain them, since I grabbed it from here.

I'll change the status of the message to solved.

Now on to other issue to work on. Thanks for you time guys.
