Working now.
I installed flashplayer 10.1rc6. Moved libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/flash-
plugin. Symlinked to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. Ran (as root) mozilla-
plugin-config -i -v.

seems to be working under google chrome 6.0.408.1
BTW, my system is x86-64.

Neal,
Thanks much. I used your method and firefox worked for me too. I even
downloaded the browser, chrome, and it worked as well.
Thanks much for your help. I hope this thread saves a lot of time for
others!!!!
