Hi! I use GNU IceCat on openSUSE 11.1/Gnome or KDE. I was not interested in support Adobe Flash animations before, because I don’t like all those banners etc, but things have changed and I want to watch some online movies in Flash. OK, I have downloaded the fresh IceCat 3.6.2, unpacked it to ~/bin/IceCat, launched and got to a site with Flash movies (for example, [1]). I see ‘Click here to download plugin’ and click. I see a pop-up window saying ‘Available Plugin Downloads / The following plugins are available: Gnash 0.8.7’. I click ‘Next’, confirm that I agree with the license, click ‘Next’ again and see: ‘Completing the Plugin Finder Service / No plugins were installed / Gnash 0.8.7 Not Available / Manual Install’. When I click on ‘Manual Install’, a new browser windows is opened (why not a new tab?) and I’m redirected to ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnash/0.8.6/ (why not to …/0.8.7?). OK, I have used Yast2 and installed gnash 0.8.4 (then manually downloaded and installed 0.8.5 with RPM), but IceCat does not seem to catch it. Is there anything else that I can do?
The Wiki page [2] does not provide any instructions. It mentions: First, remove and backup the Gnash plugin's symbolic link to IceCat: sudo mv /usr/lib/icecat/plugins/libgnashplugin.so /usr/lib/icecat/ I thought, I could find libgnashplugin.so in /usr/lib/gnash (to create a symbolic link to /plugins in my IceCat installation directory), but I can’t.
