I finally made it! The problem was the package manager (I'm using linux) wasn't installing the plugin in the right place!
So I uninstalled the previous installations and downloaded the tar.gz package instead of the .deb. I just had to run the installation program in the shell and manualy type the directory where SM is installed. Now my question is how come the plugin doesn't install in the right place? I just followed the instructions from the adobe site and it didn't work! Do you think this should be reported to the site or it's just my computer's fault? 2009/4/18 David E.
