Install FlashPlayer via urpmi or RPMDRAKE as root. You will have your dependances figured out for you. by compiling it you are missing a crucial file. I had this problem a little while ago, and it was solved when I used urpmi and it found the extra rpm I needed. I wish I knew the name of that file.... Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.
