 Hello to everybody!
 I installed the new amd64 gentoo enviroment but I cannot use the flash
 plugin: I installed by emerge the last version (the 7) but firefox and
 konqueror don't see it.
 I tried to the manuall installation but the installer doesn't support
 the x86_64 architecture...
 Is there a solution?

64 bit mozilla will require a 64 bit flash plugin, which doesn't
exist. There's a post in the forums, which tells you how to use a
32bit plugin. Other than that, there no other way really.

HTH.

Not only the installer, the whole flash thing doesn't support amd64, so
you have to use a 32bit-browser (i.e. mozilla-firefox-bin). You can't
load a 32bit-plugin into a 64bit browser, that's the problem.

This is bad...
That means that I cannot use konqueror like browser...
I want to install firefox with the multilanguage support (like mozilla), 
is it possible or I can use only one language? And in every case, there 
is the a binary version avaible in other languages, what I must do to 
install that by emerge?
Thanks a lot
Luigi

Actually, you can, and you can use Konqueror with Flash, too.
Mainly, to support netscape-style plugins, Konqueror uses an external program 
(nspluginviewer) which load the plugin. You only need to have that program 
compiled for 32-bit environment.
Look on the forum, there's a post about it.
I'm using it without a problem right now.

The only thing.. you will be unable to use 64-bit plugins in that case, but 
this shouldn't be a problem, as with konqueror java is used without nsplugins 
and kaffeine and other software could take care as kpart of showing videos 
and audio.

HTH,
