I see 'lightspark' mentioned quite often; never tried it, or read up on it.

Can you list the places where you have got the .so located. Is your system
64-bit?

If I ever 'want'/'need' to run flash, it's in a sandpitted and nailed-down vm
that can be wiped/restored very easily; the os inside the vm would normally
be based on blfs/slack, or slackware itself, or in 'exceptional' circumstances
xp/7 (yeah, I know ...) . This is mainly to avoid 'polluting' the main os with
'junk'.
