I was trying to view an interactive feature at NYTimes.com today and was told I needed macromedia flashplayer 6 to view it. I was certain that I had already installed it so I checked and I do, in fact, have the latest libflashplayer.so in the /usr/lib/netscape/plugins directory. Nonetheless, I tried to download and reinstall it. When I previously installed it, I extracted the tar.gz into /home/me/programs and then did cp /home/me/programs/install_flashplayer_6_linux/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so The install script that comes with it failed the first time (months ago). So, being the fool I am, I tried to run that install script again. I did cd /home/me/programs/installthiscrap sh installflashplayer And it started to run, just as last time, and, just as before, asked me for a directory path and behaved as follows: quote Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape, or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla): /usr/lib/netscape WARNING: Please enter a valid installation path. Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape, or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla): /usr/bin/netscape WARNING: /usr/bin/netscape is not a directory. /end quote I tried /usr/bin/netscape/plugins, /usr/lib/mozilla, /usr/bin/mozilla /usr/lib/yomamma/ Everything, and I get the same response. Personally, I don't understand why the darned plugin isn't working after I installed at by hand, since it is clearly IN the directory, let alone why the stupid install script doesn't accept /usr/lib/netscape Any ideas? Is this a UTS bug? tony http://www.School-Library.net Freedom to Learn! -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- GED$/L/P/FA d? s: a C++ L++ W++ N++ K- w--- M+ PS++ PE-- Y+ PGP- t+ tv-- b++(b++++) D?
