mozplugger and firefox


I just installed firefox and then mozplugger, but when I type in the URL aboutlugins in firefox, mozplugger is not listed. I installed firefox in my home directory in the folder firefox. I copied the mozplugger.so file to the plugins folder in the firefox directory, but it still didn't work. I am sure this is the correct plugins directory, since this is where I put libflashplayer.so, and it works. I am running Mandrake 10.1 and I installed mozplugger 1.6.1, which was on the Mandrake installation DVD.

Any help would be appreciated.

I just now noticed that if I try to run firefox on the command line it gives the error:

MozPlugger: Failed to execute m4.
MozPlugger: Failed to execute m4.

Does that help?

When I typed the command "urpmi m4" it said that everything was installed. Then I found another post that said to make sure urpmi was setup with a source on the internet instead of the DVD, and when I did that and ran "urpmi m4" again, it installed m4, and now mozplugger works! Thanks for the help.
