[gentoo-user] Flash installation?

[gentoo-user] Flash installation?

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

 ,,,after upgrading Firefox (->3.014) I was remembered
 to install the Adobe Flash plugin.

 I first tried to install it via emerge which fails --
 Firefox does not "see" the installation (yes, JavaScript 
 was enabled and NoScript instructed accordingly).

 From the Adobe website I downloaded the newest Flash plugin
 for Linux in tar.gz.
 Unpacking the archive only shed daylight on a library --
 the installation, which was mentioned by Adobe was missing.

 So...how can I install Adobe Flashplayer or any other useable
 alternative?

 Kind regards,
 mcc

You emerge it.  If it doesn't work, then it's not because it's designed 
not to work, but because of some problem, obviously.  In that case, you 
might want to file a bug about it (after making sure you tried with a 
clean firefox profile first).

For reference, my system is AMD64, with 
www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.5.3-r1, and 
www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.0.32.18 [64bit multilib -32bit] and it works 
without problems.
