[SOLVED] Conkeror: missing conkeror-spawn-helper

Hello List,
although there are two bug reports with regards to the missing conkeror-spawn-helper in the conkeror-git package in AUR, I'm still left with the question: what shall I do to add this very important functionality to conkeror?
conkeror-spawn-helper enables the user to open e.g. a pdf document from within conkeror, using evince or xpdf for example. There seems to be a problem havin a binary in /usr/share/, so it was removed from the package. Fair enough.
But then what to do?
I only found rpm and deb packages on the web.
Where do I get it and how/where do I install it on ArchLinux?
TIA

Thanks for you answer, but I fiddled around with conkeror start scripts, even had a look at run-conkeror script in conkeror/contrib folder - but to no avail.
It worked until my last update, i.e after git pulling the newest conkeror-git package from the AUR and freshly installing conkeror (I had to do that, since my old installation constantly crashed after my last system update).
It really seems, this functionality has been removed from the package, and its not obvious to me how to install it myself.

    Are you wanting to import iCal to the MacBook Air. Since iCloud doesn't work with 10.6 OSX you probably don't have any data in iCloud yet?

    My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help. I can't find my answer on the Internet.

    By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
    If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
    I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

  • Indesign missing fonts, please help!

    Hi!
    i
    I just switched from windows 8 to a mac mini. I had indesign CC trial on the PC and now that I switched to a mac fonts are missing n my document. Both versions of indesign were up to date. How do I get my fonts back please help. The font I really need is called "Onyx"
    I dont know why the fonts were working on the PC using the same indesign trial but on the Mac i download the indesign trial the font is missing. Please help!!!!!!

    On behalf of Adobe ...
    Onyx is not a font provided by Adobe with InDesign or any of the Creative Suite or Creative Cloud offerings. It is installed on your Windows system when you install Microsoft Office.
    Likewise, if you have licensed and Installed Microsoft Office on your Macintosh, Onyx is installed on your system.
    If you have not licensed and installed Microsoft Office on your Macintosh, you can license the font at http://www.fonts.com/family/248141/onyx.

    I can't open my books with the update, says failed to load book because the requested resources is missing.  Please HELP.

    If you can't open a particular ibook then try deleting it from the bookshelf via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf, and (assuming that it's still in your country's store) redownload it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app (or if you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes library sync it back from there).

  • FLASH PLAYER MISSING PLUGIN PLEASE HELP!!

    Since the Last Safari Update,I've been constantly getting a missing plugin message whenever FlashPlayer was required.
    I have tried uninstaling/installing FlashPlayer from the adobe website. But still always asked to download the latest version.And later did disk permission repair/check, nothing worked. I even disabled som of the plugins i had read in the discussion that might cause some problems such as the java cocoa plugin, but flash player's plugin is still missing.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Latest version of Flash is 10.3.181.26
    It installs in Macintosh HD/Library/Internet plug-ins and is available to all browsers.
    Make sure you're getting the right one; there is  one for Firefox, Safari and Opera and a seperate one for Chrome.
    Best to install with all browsers closed (note - you have to open and authorise the installer - it doesn't install automatically on download).
    If a browser's open, quit and reopen it to enable the plug-in.
    Be wary of error messages claiming you don't have the right plug-in. Don't follow links from them, they're often used to redirect you to malware sites.
    And ensure JavaScript is enabled when trying to view Flash; it won't work without it.

    Shouldn't happen.Only thing I can think of suggesting is to delete render files and try again. Trashing preferences is a long shot, but no harm in trying. Use the Digital Rebellion Preference Manager, a free download.
    Assume you have a reason for using such an outdated version of FCP X. That may be contributing to your problem.

    Tina,
    I would go crazy if this was me.  You may find this interesting from the customer agreement (to see full agreement go here:Customer Agreement | Verizon Wireless):
    "HOW AND WHEN CAN I DISPUTE CHARGES?
    If you're a Postpay customer, you can dispute your bill within 180 days of receiving it, but unless otherwise provided by law or unless you're disputing charges because your wireless device was lost or stolen, you still have to pay all charges until the dispute is resolved. If you're a Prepaid customer, you can dispute a charge within 180 days of the date the disputed charge was incurred. YOU MAY CALL US TO DISPUTE CHARGES ON YOUR BILL OR ANY SERVICE(S) FOR WHICH YOU WERE BILLED, BUT IF YOU WISH TO PRESERVE YOUR RIGHT TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING SUCH DISPUTE, YOU MUST WRITE TO US AT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ADDRESS ON YOUR BILL, OR SEND US A COMPLETED NOTICE OF DISPUTE FORM (AVAILABLE AT VERIZONWIRELESS.COM), WITHIN THE 180–DAY PERIOD MENTIONED ABOVE. IF YOU DO NOT NOTIFY US IN WRITING OF SUCH DISPUTE WITHIN THE 180-DAY PERIOD, YOU WILL HAVE WAIVED YOUR RIGHT TO DISPUTE THE BILL OR SUCH SERVICE(S) AND TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING ANY SUCH DISPUTE."
    This may help you also: Arbitration and Mediation FAQs | Verizon Wireless
    You can dispute any charges by doing an Arbitration or Mediation.  I have never done it, so I can not help much there but this all may get you started.
    Let me know if any of this works! Good Luck! Please keep me updated. I really hope they help you.

    libffi.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file
    or directory
    I don't find that anywhere in the repos, not in AUR either.

    Oh, sorry, I just recently installed, and did all the upgrade and refresh commands - but apparently they didn't work due to the recent initscript issue. I had to remove that init.sh file to really update. Now conkeror works, though I still get some error messages on start-up and during operation, but nothing serious, it seems.
    cheers
