Hi Phil, unfortunately the state of ASV on Linux is less than optimal, but it works in some browsers. On my SuSE Linux it works fine in Konqueror and Opera, but does not work well in the Mozilla based browsers, because these browsers recently changed their plugin interface and Adobe did not follow. As to installing: I would not recommend using the install script. Instead, I would just untar/unzip all files manuall to the browsers plugin directory. When the untar creates a subdirectory (Adobe something ...) move all files one hierarchy higher where all other .so files reside. You can also point your webbrowser to other directories to search for plugins (f.e. Opera and Konqueror). The reason why "install.sh" fails is because many different Linux distributions have different directory locations for webbrowsers and their plugins. Unfortunately that is not standardized. For that reason the install.sh fails on most non-Redhat distributions. Also, Adobe does not equally support Linux as it does support Windows/Mac. They could easily improve their install script to make it work in the most popular distributions.
