Ok, after the thread the other day that got off on the topic of a flash
plugin, I decided to try to get one working here, and I've had no luck. This
is on Fedora Core 5, but I have a similar problem on the couple of other
distros I've used recently. I just never really needed flash, so I never
worried about it.
I downloaded the plugin file from the automatic installer that comes up in
firefox. It installed a .so and a .xpt file into ~/.mozilla/plugins. If I
start up firefox and type about:plugins, it does not show the flash plugin.
I checked the permissions on the files, looked ok to me.
Next I tried copying those two files into the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins directories and also directories that had mozilla
and firefox with version numbers. None of these got far enough to even show
the plugin in about:plugins.
I double-checked the installation instructions online and in the downloaded
file, and I can't see what I did wrong.
Any suggestions? I tried running mozilla and firefox both, with the same
results. I even tried running them with strace. It shows those two plugin
files being examined...
