aze,

 

where did you get the download for Flash from? if it's the tar.gz file from Macromedia, try this instead...........

 

Flash RPM from the Forum downloads section

 

that should automatically install to where it needs to be........ :D

 

PS: uninstall (if it's a tar.gz just delete the Flash directory) you previous version of Flash first.

I'm sure you can find more browsing on this board or doing a search for 'rpm'.

 

You can also use web-based rpm search services, like http://speakeasy.rpmfind.net/

Hmm, having the same problem, but that RPM doesn't work for me

 

Edit:

 

ah, found the problem. I opened op the GNOME Terminal and did a 'updatedb', then I used 'find / -name libflashplayer.so' and found it the RPM installed the file in /usr/lib/netscape/plugins, instead of mozilla, so copying the flash plugin files from netscape dir to mozilla-1.4 dir did the trick
