    Actually, I was just wondering about this.  What is required to get
plugins to work on Linux NS 4.04?  I'm trying to get the UMich Kerberos
Plugin to work, and I keep getting the error:
ERROR: File not found
Cant load plugin /home/woferry/.netscape/plugins/npkrb4.so.1.3. Ignored.

    I have the newest linux_lib and linux_devel in /emul/linux.  I built
and tested the plugin on a linux box (everything worked fine on the
linux box), and copied over the extra libs that should be necessary
(i.e. krb, des, and com_err).  I tried doing a ktrace on Netscape to
figure out what it's doing, but it seemed to get stuck in a SIGALRM loop
when being ktraced (it works normally when not ktraced, just doesn't
open the plugin).

    Do I need extra binaries or libraries for plugins to work?  Do they
work at all under Linux emulation?

    Thanks in advance.
