rpm -qif `which strings` gives binutils, so you need to install binutils package

Are you using the RPM from http://macromedia.mplug.org/? Try adding the 
following into your /etc/yum.conf:

[flash-plugin]
name=Macromedia Flash plugin
baseurl=http://macromedia.mplug.org/apt/fedora/$releasever

Then give the command:
yum install flash-plugin
