As I said before, this version works "out of the box" for me on my Sid/amd64 system. Unfortunately, this also means that I don't know too much about the details of the plugin-wrapping mechanism.

Maybe the viewer cannot be executed because you are missing some component of X (or some other library) which is assumed to be present and therefore not specified as an explicit dependency. Do you run an unusually minimalistic Xorg install? Looking at the post-installation script, it seems that things go wrong at the very last step, which is: nspluginwrapper -n -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so According to the manpage, this is meant to install the wrapper for libflashplayer.so into the mozilla plugins directory. It also seems to test if the viewer itself is executable and that is not the case on your system. I would first run these commands: ldd /usr/bin/nspluginwrapper ldd /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so ldd /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin Maybe that will turn up a missing library. Also, just to be sure, check if your running kernel supports 32-bit ELF executables: $ egrep 'ELF|IA32' /boot/config-$(uname -r) CONFIG_ELF_CORE=y CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y CONFIG_IA32_AOUT=y Finally, you could try to run nspluginwrapper -v -n -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so and hope that the verbose mode provides additional clues. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
