Author Installing TclPlugin 3.1

Hello,

I'm trying to install tcl plugin v3.1 on Linux Firefox 1.5.0.6. I open
tclplugin31-win32-ix86.xpi with firefox (from root account),
installation starts -> Extensions window opens, there is the tcl plugin
item in here, but it disappears very fast, I can't even see what's going
on with it. No errors. Just silence.

Plugin still isn't installed of course...


What's wrong? Any ideas?

^^^^^

The platforms (Linux and win32) appear not to match. No idea what .xpi
is so I can't tell whether this is significant.

Sorry, my bad. I've tried to install linux plugin version of course. I
just downloaded both version (win32 and linux) into one directory and I
pasted wrong file name here :)

Noting that you got the linux version, did you try to visit a page? The
"item disappears" part is actually correct. Mozilla's "extension"
mechanism is a bit overloaded for plugins as well. An extension (like
GreaseMonkey) would remain there, but plugins do not. Go to
'about :plugins' to see what plugins you have actually loaded.

That is correct.

Now I have another problem. I can't run any script with the plugin, even
from http://www.tcl.tk/software/plugin/applets.html.
There is a gray rectangle in the place of applet, but nothing appears :/
I've tried it with all of Firefox, Opera 9 and Konqueror. Same effect.

Any suggestions?
