I also tried : $ cd ~ $ nix-env -f nixpkgs -i flashplayer (I had to edit the `url` variables in default.nix too, since the file naming scheme changed slightly)
The tar.gz file is then correctly downloaded, but then produces an error that the build of flashplayer-11.2.202.251.drv failed. As before, any help would be appreciated.
