Still hasn't worked.  I tried both Plugger 4.0 and 3.3, and both the rpms and tar.gz's for each.  I followed the installation instructions, and even tried manually copying the plugger, pluggerrc, and plugger.so files to the ./mozilla and plugins directory.  No luck.  I'm useing Mozilla 1.2 beta.  I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Help me out here. Does "plugger" show up in "Help"->"About Plug-ins"? Do you have JavaScript turned on?

Doctor V:
Help --> About Plug ins gives me this:

------------------------------------------------

Installed plug-ins
Find more information about browser plug-ins at Netscape.com.
Plugger 4.0

    File name: plugger.so

MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled


-------------------------------------------------


so it detects Plugger, but dosn't list any mime types.

Then it must not be finding your "pluggerrc" file, or you do not have any mimetypes configured in your pluggerrc. Do you have an /etc/pluggerrc? Also, you might want to go through some of these Q & As:

Doctor V:
Running make install in the plugger directory copies plugger.so to    /usr/local/lib/netscape
plugger-4.0 to   /usr/local/bin
and pluggerrc to /etc/pluggerrc-4.0

with this alone, Help --> About Plugins in Mozilla dosn't even show Plugger at all.  Awter a while of tinkering, I deleted the files and tried somthing different.

Installing it locally using make localinstall puts them into .netscape. So I tried putting it into the .mozilla directory.  It showed what I posted above only after copying plugger.so to ./mozilla/plugins.  I did also cpoy the other two files to .mozilla.  

Not working, I deleted the copied files, and went ahead and copied them all to ./netscape.  That didn't work.  Nothing at all showed up in Mozilla's Help --> About Plugins

You have to make sure the plugin goes into the right directory. On my RedHat 8.0 system that directory is "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins". Hmmm, I just downloaded the tar.gz file and unwrapped it, it does say that the file included with that package should be named /etc/pluggerrc-4.0, however on my system it needs to be "/etc/pluggerrc" (I installed it from RPM). Maybe it really needs to be "/etc/pluggerrc" (without the "-4.0").

Did you mention which Linux distro you are using? I didn't see that anywhere. If you are using an RPM based distro, try the RPM.
