I think it would be correct to install it using the port. Sometimes the system cannot download the file; namely I had the same problem with this port. You can download the file manually, and then replace the temporary file created in /usr/ports/distfiles/flashplugin7xxx/... with the correct one. Then go to /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin7 and issue make install clean again. The system checks first whether the file is in the distfiles; if it is not the case, it will fetch it.

[...] You are confusing between the ports system, and the pre-compiled packages available on FreeBSD. In a nutshell, ports allow you to download, build and install applications from source, while packages are pre-compiled binaries for your particular platform. To add it through ports, you need to do (as root): # cd /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin7 # make install clean Reading the relevant section (6.2.4) of the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.html) will help.

Hi, I have tried to a couple of times to install a Micromedia-alike flash plugin for FreeBSD but failed. So far I have successfully installed the linux-pluginwrapper as a requirement at /usr/ports/www/linuxpluginwrapper. So I tried /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin7 and issued the command pkg-add -r linux-flashplugin7. The system attempted to download the file from ftp site but came back saying the file linux-flashplugin7 did not exist. Any idea what I may be doing wrong? The answer that you receive is just because it doesn't exist it like a package on the ftp server that your are fetching from. Try to install it via ports way, typing make install clean on /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin7, as described in the manual http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.html Hope this help. __ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.

Re: Cannot pkg_add linux-flashplugin7
Hi Joseba, you are right the file does not exist. I tried the port way but got the same. Did some searching in -FreeBSD ports and found out that the file /linux-flashplugin7 has been updated to /linux-flashplugin9. This one worked fine as a port.
