Crossover won't work either unless it ships ALL the required libs, which
is very unlikely. And even then, it will only work if you enable IA32 emul
in your kernel.

The only reason I suggest you the alpha version is because previous
flash versions have not support for 64 bits, hence, you will need
multilib to use them. The latest alpha has finally been ported to
x86_64, which means that it's now a native 64 bit application, and
doesn't need multilib to run on a 64 bits system.

Right. There are lots of complicated ways though. But it's hobbyist stuff.
The safest and quickest way is to just reinstall.
