Hello,
My web browser doesn't seem to acknowledge the Squeak plug-in. I built and installed the VM from source, and then ran npsqueakregister that was installed in /usr/local/lib/squeak/. I'm using Firefox 2 on Debian etch, and it doesn't list that as an installed plug-in, and when I try to look at one of the demo Squeak projects on www.squeakland.org, it tells me that I don't have to plug-in installed. Any ideas? I couldn't find anything helpful on the web. Thanks, Aidan _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners |

I couldn't find anything helpful on the web. When you run the npsqueakregister it should tell you where it linked the plugin. Unfortunately the plugins location differs between browsers and Linux distributions. What you can do is manually make a symbolic link from npsqueak.so in /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.xx to your browser's plugin directory. - Bert - _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners |

Hmmm, when I put it in ~/.mozilla/plugins/ Firefox finds it, but in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ it doesn't. Well, that's that working, but I'll have to ask elsewhere about Firefox not finding it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/.

Oh, and while we're on the topic, can store data on the user's filesystem (for
personal settings)? And, by the way, thanks for the plug-in (I just noticed that you're credited as the developer). -Aidan Aidan Gauland wrote: > Bert Freudenberg wrote: >> When you run the npsqueakregister it should tell you where it linked >> the plugin.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean ... npsqueak.so simply executes npsqueakrun (it tries ~/.npsqueak/npsqueakrun first before the system location). The plugin also passes the image name (it looks for SqueakPlugin.image in ~/.npsqueak/ and then in the system location). So if you want to modify the image you need to copy it to ~/.npsqueak (unless npsqueakrun copied it automatically, don't know how it is set- up currently). Anyway npsqueakrun just executes a regular Squeak VM, redirecting its window into the browser plugin window - you could modify that script to your heart's liking :) > And, by the way, thanks for the plug-in (I just noticed that you're > credited as the developer). Hehe, yes, back in 1999 ... jeez. - Bert - > > > -Aidan > > Aidan Gauland wrote: >> Bert Freudenberg wrote: >>> When you run the npsqueakregister it should tell you where it >>> linked the plugin.
