Re: Flash Player Problem

Thanks for the assistance here.  I got the proverbial "slap on the 
wrist" ( VERY NICELY, I might add) for posting this message on the 
psyche list.  My apologies.  While, the particular problem was not 
specific to Red Hat 9, the solution is pertinent, so I will post it.

The solution to my problem was getting a backward compatible version of 
libstdc++ because the version that I have on my system was a newer 
version than the one needed by the Flash player.  I got the rpm for the 
correct version at rpmfind and once I installed it, the Flash Player 
worked fine.  So, despite the fact that my problem was related to 
Mozilla, the solution was provided by Red Hat.

Again, thanks for the assistance.

Colleen

I am running Netscape 7.1 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 

I have the flash player working fine.

I use the following flash player:
File name: libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 6.0 r79

I think I got it from here...

Hope this helps.

Subject: Flash Player Problem

Hello All, I'm trying to get the Macromedia Flash Player installed. I have already read the documentation on the http://plugin.mozdev.org page and also the readme file that was part of the tarball for this plugin. The http://plugin.mozdev.org page said to extract the tarball and put the libflashplayer.so and the flashplayer.xpt file in the /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/ directory. I did this. I also tried putting an additional copy of both these files in the /usr/local/mozilla/components/ directory. In either case, the plugin is NOT recognized by the browser - i.e. isn't listed in my list of plugins. I'm running Mozilla 1.4 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624) on Redhat 9 with kernel 2.4.20-19.9. If it makes any difference, besides the libnullplugin.so (the default plugin), I have the JRE plugin and the Adobe Acrobat plugin installed. They both work fine and show in my about:plug!
i!
ns list. The http://plugin.mozdev.org page also said that "Scripting Flash does NOT work with gcc3 builds of Mozilla", but I'm not sure what that means and my version of gcc is 3.2.2. Anyone who can offer assistance here has my gratitude. Also, pardon the verbal diarrhea here, but I wanted to give as much detail as I could in case anyone can help. Thanks.
