Re: [FreeWRL-help] Installing the freewrl plugin for iceweasel (a.k.a. firefox) on Debian

[Harmon N. <har...@gm...>]

Hi, Ian.

Thanks for replying so quickly. :)

It appears the problem was that, after installing FreeWRL, I forgot to
run ldconfig to get it to update the cache (BTW, /usr/local/lib, where
libFreeWRL.so is located, is in ld.so.conf).  However, now what I'm
getting when iceweasel tries to load a .wrl file is a window that
disappears as quickly as it appears.  When run from the command-line,
iceweasel renders the following output:

1286296890.372162: FreeWRL plugin: NPP_Initialize
1286296890.373249: FreeWRL plugin: NPP_New, argc 3NP_EMBED

Thanks for your help.
