FC6 & PDF's

BoyWonder410 · #1 13th October 2006, 12:55 AM

Trying to install the adobe plugin for Firefox, and it's not working.
nppdf.so is in the right directory, and firefox tries to open the pdf, but it comes up blank.

on FC5 i followed the advice here
http://www.stanton-finley.net/fedora...tes.html#Adobe
and it worked fine.

the only problem is that with FC6, I can't do this part
If you have not already done so go to "System" > "Administration" > "Security Level and Firewall". Enter your root password and click "ok". On the "SELinux" tab click on "Modify SELinux Policy", click on "Compatibility" to open it and tick the check box next to "Allow the use of shared libraries with Text Relocation". Click "ok".

because the "compatibility" tab is gone.

any help with acrobat + firefox + FC6???

I believe when I installed FC6 the equivalent to that option was enabled by default. Anyway, the option is still there though it's been moved a bit.

Moved where? I don't see it. and, if it is enabled, why doesn't acrobat work?

I may have been mistaken. Anyway I suppose you could test whether SELinux is the problem by temporarily disabling it and seeing if it works.
