This is a longshot. Try putting a hard copy of the .so in plugins/ instead of a soft link. I had very similar symptoms to yours, except with a flash plugin under Mozilla, a year or so ago. For some odd reason it would simply not load the plugin if I used a soft link. I verified that the soft link pointed to the file. I deleted .mozilla/pluginreg.dat each time I changed things and brought up mozilla. Only the hard link worked. Dean
