web browser plug-in

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

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.

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/.

Thanks,
Aidan

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).

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 :)

Hehe, yes, back in 1999 ... jeez.
