Stephen,
Yep. RHEL5.6. No change in my repos. For various bits & pieces in
addition to RHN:
elrepo
epel
rpmfusion-free-updates
rpmfusion-free-updates-testing
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing
I just pulled down and untarred a fresh copy of this from Adobe Labs:
flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux-111710.tar.z
It contains:
-rw-r--r-- 1 10606256 Nov 16 18:10 libflashplayer.so
As soon as I overwrote the same file in /usr/lib/flash-plugins (sorry
about the ./flash-player typo before), everything works again.
Mozilla's about:plugins shows it installed:
Shockwave Flash
File: libflashplayer.so
Version:
Shockwave Flash 10.3 d162 Suffixes
Enabled
MIME Type
application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes
application/futuresplash FutureSplash spl Yes
The only entry in the yum logs about flash is over six months old. I'm
baffled. :-/
