I installed these ports. Is there
anything I need to do to the browser
to get it to recognize them, because
flash is still not working.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that for
firefox you want to make a symbolic
link from

/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so

to

/usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so

and from

/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6/flashplayer.xpt

to

/usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so

(Shamelessly copied from a previous
post :)

There's a typo in the last link: it should be from /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6/flashplayer.xpt
to
/usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplayer.xpt

I put my links into /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins instead of firefox/plugins and I'm then able to view flash in konqueror as well as firefox.


Also I had to create a file named /etc/libmap.conf with the following in it:

# Flash6 with Konqueror
[/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so]
libpthread.so.0 pluginwrapper/flash6.so
libdl.so.2 pluginwrapper/flash6.so
libz.so.1 libz.so.3
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 libstdc++.so.5
libm.so.6 libm.so.4
libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/flash6.so

Thanks, that worked for firefox. It didn't seem to work for Konqurer (but don't really use it anyway).
