So did I. When I run firefox then, I get an error message as follows:
freebsdangel# firefox
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/libflashplayer.so [Shared object
"libdl.so.2" not found, required by "libflashplayer.so"]
But the library is existing:
freebsdangel# find / -name libdl.so.2
/usr/compat/linux/lib/libdl.so.2
freebsdangel#
And even adjusting the path does not help:
freebsdangel# setenv PATH "${PATH}:/usr/compat/linux/lib"
The result is the same:
So basically the question is:
How can I tell FreeBSD where to find the requested lib??
