The two files which real uses are called nphelix.so and nphelix.xpt Although they are designed presumably for Mozilla browsers, Konqueror also uses the mozilla plugins I believe. So, it would be useful to locate the files mentioned and see where they are residing. Not sure if you are familiar with updatedb, but if not, I will explain a little. If you are, feel free to ignore the next few lines! updatedb, as it suggests, updates the database of all the files on your system - making it very quick and easy to find things - discover if modules exist etc. To create the database (or update it), simply open a Konsole and type - sudo updatedb Pressing enter will get the usual request for password then either tell you no database exists (if you have never run it before) or start updating the database. Either way, it will probably take a few minutes unless you are a regular updatedb runner! You can tell when it has finished as you will return to the command prompt. Once the database is up to date, type in locate nphelix.so and hit enter. On my system, the file resides in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins - but I do have firefox installed. You may find it in another location. The next bit is just an idea - but it won't do any harm! Assuming the file is not in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins, but some other location, then perhaps the mozilla plugins thing in Konqueror cannot find the file? So, you could (from the Konsole) cd into the /home/james/.mozilla/plugins directory and then create a symlink. A quick example - substitute the correct paths to the .mozilla/plugins and the real files. assuming your /.mozilla/plugins directory is as above and that the nphelix.so file is in /opt/Real/mozilla, then you would do the following - cd /home/james/.mozilla/plugins and press enter. The symlink needs to be created as a super user (because the /opt directory is not available for the basic user to link), so to link, you use the sudo command - sudo ln -s /opt/Real/mozilla/nphelix.so Press enter and, because we are already in the /home/james/.mozilla/plugins directory, the symlink will be created there. You need to repeat the second part for the other file too - sudo ln -s /opt/Real/mozilla/nphelix.xpt Hit enter and then close any open Konqueror windows and then open a new Konqueror window and see if the Beeb will let you play! Hopefully that will sort it James! Mark -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
