[gentoo-user] flash plugin amd64

[Álvaro Castro]

Hello all!

I've emerged the netscape-flash ebuild, but it doesn't
work once firefox is loaded.
So i tried to download it directly from the macromedia
web page and when manually installing it I found that
there is no x86_64 support! (it says so when you try
to install it)
Well, is that right? Did any of you manage to install
it?
I think is strange there is no support.

hum...

tanks!! :-)

Hi,

you are right that there is no 64 Bit version of the Macromedia Flash Player. 
You have to use either a 32 Bit browser (binary version) with the 32 Bit 
Plugin or the 64 Bit Konqueror which also works with 32 Bit binaries.

Greets,

Rafael

This is correct, there is no support from macromedia for 64bit flash on linux
If you want flash on your system you will have to use the mozilla-firefox-bin 
package.

If you want to use Flash in Konqueror on a 64 bit system, there's en
ebuild in the forums. Ignore the title, there are ebuilds for up to KDE 3.5.1.
