Opera and libnpp.so
After updating my system to FreeBSD 7.0, I received the following error from Opera:
Opera encountered a problem during plug-in setup. Plug-ins will not work properly. Check your installation. Could not locate plug-in 'libnpp.so'. This executable is included in the install package. This executable is included in the install package. Could not start plug-in executable 'operapluginwrapper' /usr/local/share/opera/plugins/operapluginwrapper Plug-in path (Path can be modified in Preferences dialog) /usr/local/share/opera/plugins
Some searching brought me upon a post in the offical Opera forums. For reference purposes, I will archive it here. To solve the problem, follow these steps:
Close Opera. Use the root user to edit the file /etc/libmap.conf (create it if it does not exist). Add the following lines:
[operapluginwrapper] libXThrStub.so.6 libXtst.so.6
After a restart, Opera should work fine now. Apparently, only the wrong library is used to start the plugin wrapper, the lines above should fix this.
