I think this is one of the problems with nspluginwrapper, since its installation is system-wide it is very difficult to isolate when it malfunctions. All the usual troubleshooting methodology starts failing. Thankfully Don was very observant and picked up on the error message in the terminal. Otherwise even knowing that its installed would have been difficult to guess over emails. Lets hope the problem is isolated now, and can be resolved. > Craig > -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
