Hi
Assuming you did the install via the command line, then the following
should link;


sudo ln
-s /usr/local/lib/personal/libplugins.so /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/libplugins.so

Hi
If you enter about:plugins in the URL entry space, do you see it
present? Maybe running the following command may help as well;


sudo /sbin/ldconfig

Else i think you need to ask the developers if the libraries are
compatible with openSUSE…

Ran into the same problem as fri1616.
I think the problem here is that fri1616 aswell as I is running a 32 bit version of SuSe and therefore has no /usr/lib64.
Changing ln command line 130 in install.4.10.2.16.sh to:
ln -s /usr/local/lib/personal/libplugins.so /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libplugins.so

made the install script work for me.
