F10 firefox and flash

[mwette]

I am getting so tired of dealing with this issue. I installed F9 six months ago, with F7 running on backup partition, and never got to running F9 full time because I could never get flash to work (and another issue wrt wine). Now I've installed F10 and still the flash does not work. I tried the v9 plugin with ...
rpm -vh http://linuxdownload...noarch.rpm
yum install flash-plugin.i386 nspluginwrapper.{x86_64,i386}
yum install libflashsupport.{i386,x86_64} [ does not work -- no such package ]
mozilla-plugin-config

It didn't work. went to youtube with "firefox -debug" got more errors -- installed more packages -- yuck

Anyone get something to work? I'm getting a bit frustrated w/ Fedora/Linux
(long time Sun/Unix/Solaris dude -- I was running Fedora Core 1 years ago)

You want the new linux x86_64 flash from adobe:

http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

The tarchive contains only one file (libflashplayer.so) and no instructions, but -- I just did this today on my new 64-bit system -- if you put it in ~/.mozilla/plugins it works fine on FC10/64.

Strangely, adobe does not redirect you to this site via "install plugins needed", you just get the old 32-bit versions which won't work.

leigh123@linux has a howto on how to install it in the Guides & howto section i think http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showth...ht=64bit+flash

leigh's stuff is for F9. I installed the libflashplayer.so as mk27 said and it is working.
Thanks mk27!

I just installed Leigh's rpm today, and it works fine at all the sites I tested.
