"Undefined symbol" errors always remind me of having library mess.Make
sure that you don't have gnash also installed somewhere else, and you
don't have any other _old_ libraries/packages installed, as it was with
your automake. As to the $HOME/.firefox directory, put libgnashplugin.so
for your user into: /home/jerryb/.mozilla/plugins (this is sure to work)
If you don't have this directory, then create it and copy/link the
plugin there, and be sure to do:
ldconfig -n /home/jerryb/.mozilla/plugins
(as root). I don't remember having to do that with other plugins, but
this helped me to make firefox load the plugin. If firefox doesn't load
your plugin after that, you'll have to look for some orher source of
problems. Also (just in case) I remind that you need firefox
>=1.5 for gnash plugin.
