Subject: Re: Re: Squeak Firefox plugin on Linux

That's exactly the problem - until very recently, both Mozilla and Firefox linked to libXt by default. Now Firefox does not anymore. So our new version links libXt directly into the squeak plugin. It should be sufficient to install the new plugin, and manually run npsqueakregister. Or even manually create the symlinks from npsqueak.so into your browser's plugins directory (that's all npsqueakregister does).

I already had squeakvm installed. In fact I had already tried different versions of the squeak browser plugin, including the earlier squeakland_3.8-3u_all.deb and the squeak-plugin deb files from ftp.squeak.org, and I had never encountered this error before.

By the way, I have tested the ftp.squeak.org version with two different browsers, and it works with Mozilla but does not work with Firefox. Any idea why that should be the case?


You have to install the squeak-vm package before
there should be the /usr/lib/squeak/npsqueakregister, which tries to register
the plugin in various places.

Hi,

there was a bug in the npsqueak, try using the packages from:

I have Ubuntu Linux and the Squeak plugin for Firefox isn't working. For example, when I go to the Etoys page at Squeakland Im told I need to download a plugin, even if I've already installed it. Does anyone know if this is the fault of Squeak, Ubuntu, Firefox, or me?
