When I got libflashplayer it came in a tarball, libflashpllibflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar . The tarball only had the one item (libflashplayer.so) so I used flash-plugin-10.0.32.18-release.i386.rpm to get the rest (homecleanup, LICENSE, README, and setup). Sad to say, seamonkey still crashes (== terminates abruptly, no messages).

flash player problems using 64-bit linux
Hello! I've got a 64-bit linux box running Fedora Core 11; and I've downloaded Adobe's alpha 64-bit linux flash player. It works with Firefox; Seamonkey, however, immediately crashes. For a test site I use http://www.wtopnews.com . Now, naturally I'd prefer it if FC-11 + 64-bit + Seamonkey 1.1.16 + libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so worked, but I definitely think Seamonkey should try hard not to crash.

Points/questions: 1. 1.1.16 has security issues that are fixed in 1.1.17: http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/seamonkey11.html#seamonkey1.1.17 Any reason you are still on 1.1.16? 2. The only development work being performed on 1.1.x is security related fixes. I highly doubt that you'll get anyone to look at a 1.1.16 issue with an alpha 64-bit linux flash player. You can of course file a bug, but my _guess_ is that it will be ignored unless it's a security issue. I suggest that you give 2.0b1 a try and see if you still experience the same issue. See: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.0b1 Certainly if you a willing to try an alpha flash player you'd be willing to try a beta SeaMonkey? 3. You didn't mention which version of Firefox you tried this with. What version of Fx are you using? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
