Good day.

I hope somebody might have a clue...

I am having a problem installing a mozilla plugin. When I urpmi
mozzillaplugin or urpmi mozzila-plugin-vlc I get an unsatisfied
libxpcom.so message and cannot procede.

When I type locate libxpcom.so, I see it is in three locations on my system
/usr/lib/nvu/libxpcom.so
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/libxpcom.so
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-0.10.1/libxpcom.so

what is the problem?

I run Mandrake 10.1

Thanks.

Alp

I'd upgrade to 2007.1, with a clean install, if your hardware will
support it.

Anyway, regarding the libxpcom.so module, try creating a file such
as /etc/ld.so.conf.d/firefox.conf with the line
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-0.10.1
Make sure you have a linefeed, before the eof. I.E. put the cursor
on the next line, before saving the file.

Then run ldconfig, to add the modules in the above library, to the
list of dynamically loadable modules.
