some error when install flash player

[张立松]

I download flashplayer for linux from Macromedia website.

the installer need a "browser path", i enter "/usr/lib/mozzila", but it's
invalid, i enter "/usr/lib/mozzila-1.4.1", it's valid.

after install success, i run the mozzila, nothing is found in "help -> about
plugins".

I think it maybe the path is wrong.

My Fedora installed by default settings.

Assuming you got the path right, install this RPM:

compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.118

Flash should then show up in your plugins the next time you run Mozilla.

You might consider adding the following lines to your apt configuration:

rpm http://macromedia.mplug.org apt/fedora/1 macromedia
rpm-src http://macromedia.mplug.org apt/fedora/1 macromedia

So you can do 'apt-get install flash-plugin'

At http://macromedia.mplug.org/  , you can find more information (also yum 
config)  for this flash-plugin rpm.  Watch out: the rpm popups a license in 
an x window: you can't install it if you don't have X access.

Kind regards,

Yes you can.  It should detect that you don't have an X display set, and
it will avoid running the setup program.  You need to manually run
"setup" from a text terminal and accept the license.  I made sure it
works fully without GUI.  The GUI pop-up also has a time-out counter, so
that almost makes the entire thing non-interactive as RPMS should be. 
Needed to jump through hoops to appease Macromedia's lawyers.
