Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    2002020921

I have to install the Citrix ICA plugin (http://www.citrix.com) in order to run
an application here at work. I downloaded the tarball and ran the install script
(as root), which completed successfully. (installing in /usr/lib). I then
proceeded to create a symlink to the .so file from my $MOZILLA_HOME/plugins
directory and upon starting the browser, got the following error:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so
[/usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so: undefined symbol: xmDrawingAreaWidgetClass]

which got printed again when I visited the page that used the plugin.

After this failed to work, I created the symlink in netscape's plugins directory
and ran it and about:plugins listed the plugin like it was supposed to and the
plugin works as well as a plugin meant for windows ever can work under unix.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download and install aforementioned plugin
2. create symlink to .so file in mozilla's plugins directory
3. restart browser and notice that plugin fails to load.
4. Visit page that uses plugin and notice that it really didn't load (the page I
used is internal... sorry).

Actual Results:  Browser reports that plugin failed to load and plugin doesn't work.

Expected Results:  Plugin should load and work

Works with NS4.7

if you have motif installed 
just make sure the next line in prefs.js file looks like, 
user_pref("plugin.soname.list", "libXt.so:libXext.so:libXm.so");

That was it. prefs.js had that line, only sans libXm.so. I.e. it said:

user_pref("plugin.soname.list", "libXt.so:libXext.so");

and libXm.so just happens to be what my motif lib is called... I guess I just
hadn't updated my profile since that file was added to the plugin list.

vrfy, assuming that the missing "libXm.so" entry is something that has been
fixed recently.
