Instead of adding the -d option to dpkg-buildpackage you can do the following command before anything else (this installs the required dependencies).
sudo apt-get build-dep flashplugin-nonfree That downloads and installs all of the dependencies for the flash plugin (including development dependencies). So the corrected instructions would be: sudo apt-get build-dep flashplugin-nonfree wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10756602/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2.tar.gz tar -zxvf flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2.tar.gz cd flashplugin-nonfree-9.0.115.0ubuntu2 dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot Of course, you could just install the compiled package I built http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10804892/flashplugin- nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_amd64.deb (attached to my December 8th comment), but I just said that you might not consider it good practice to install packages from an untrusted source (especially referring to the Ubuntu Forums malicious code incident)- not that you don't trust me. Ramos, I believe your issue is that you don't have the appropriate compiling tools installed. The modified instructions I gave should fix your problem, if not, install the package build-essential in Synaptic or via command line (sudo apt-get install build-essential). -- flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
