How to install flash player in Fedora 2 64 bit？？

[Dung-Bang Tsai]

I can't install 32bit flash player version on my 64 bit mozilla.
So I would like to install 32bit mozilla or firefox in order to install flash player.
But it will say fall dependences. How can I solve this problem??
Or how can I install 32 bit flash player on my 64 bit mozilla??

Thanks for everyone~~
Best Regards!

I get firefox-0.8-0.fdr.11.2.i386.rpm
and install.... But have a error message

warning: firefox-0.8-0.fdr.11.2.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID ecc63e4d
error: Failed dependencies:
libIDL-2.so.0 is needed by firefox-0.8-0.fdr.11.2

How can I solve it?


Latter...I get firefox-0.9.2-4.1.fc2.fr.i386.rpm
and install it ....And have the following error message..
error: Failed dependencies:
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb is needed by firefox-0.9.2-4.1.fc2.fr
libIDL-2.so.0 is needed by firefox-0.9.2-4.1.fc2.fr
libORBit-2.so.0 is needed by firefox-0.9.2-4.1.fc2.fr
libbonobo-activation.so.4 is needed by firefox-0.9.2-4.1.fc2.fr
libgnomevfs-2.so.0 is needed by firefox-0.9.2-4.1.fc2.fr
Can I install the above lib in 32 bit mode??

Or I get firefox-0.9.2-3.dag.src.rpm
Can I rebuild it into 32 bit and solving dependencies??

Thanks for help~~~

You should try using yum with its arch management. Give yum (through /etc/yum.conf) a 32bit repository (with firefox and base in it) then go: yum install firefox.i386 and it should automatically handle the 32 bit dependencies.

I used yum to remove firefox 64 and then installed firefox.i386, but when i try to install flash, it still says i have 64 bit and it can't install

i did set up 32 bit repositories in yum.conf

btw i'm new to linux

[edit]

i also tried downloading the rpm and installing that way, still says flash doesn't support my 64 bit

this page may (or may not) help.

the site is apt/yum enabled with fedora rpm's and generic tar.gz's that you can compile.

awesome, thanks a lot that worked first try

Hey mhinckley how did you do compile it ?

I've been downloaded the .tar.gz version of flash and it didn't work anymore !
So must i understand that if i want to have flash, i must downgrade to firefox.i386 ????
