Running flash on x86_64

sAid

Hey,

Just wondering can any of ye get flash running on x86_64. I have FC5 and i've been trying to get flash running now for a while but there doesn't seem to be any offical flash plugin for x86_64, and wanted to know if you guys knew a way around it.

I've tried gplflash but I'm getting these errors when I do a make:

matrix.h:36: error: extra qualification 'Matrix::' on member 'getX'
matrix.h:42: error: extra qualification 'Matrix::' on member 'getY'
sound.h:106: error: extra qualification 'SoundMixer::' on member 'Mp3Scale'
sound.h:107: error: extra qualification 'SoundMixer::' on member 'Mp3Decompress'sound.h:108: error: extra qualification 'SoundMixer::' on member 'uninitMp3Sounds'
make[2]: *** [adpcm.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/sAid/gplflash-0.4.13/lib'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sAid/gplflash-0.4.13'
make: *** [all] Error 2

So would you guys know away around using gplflash or any solutions to my problem, I am complete noob when it comes to linux, so please dum it now a bit

You'll probably need to run a 32 bit browser.
Google for x86_64 flash chroot

This is definitely worth checking out:

I got gplflash running on Ubuntu x86_64, but I didn't compile it myself, it was in the ubuntu package repositories. Check if it's in the fedora ones.

wierd it isnt on mine
and Amarok doesnt want to play sound while XMMS does

You'll need to enable the universe and multiverse repositories.

Open /etc/apt/sources.list in an editor,
and look for the word universe
Uncomment those lines, and for good measure, add the word multiverse on at the end of the line right after universe.

deb http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse
deb-src http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse

Next time you run apt-get update, it'll download the extra software lists,
and they'll be available from apt-get or synaptic/adept.

Hope that includes gplflash, maybe Syth could post his own sources.list file.

did that and tried gplfash no luck with youtube anyway as it says the version is too old

I haven't used it and so can't vouch for anything, but Gnash (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/) is a GNU flash player, with the usual plugins for browsers, and it supports some of the SWF v7 features, which is a good bit better than GPLflash which, afair, can only support up to v4 or something similar

The slashdot post I mentioned the other day was about the Flock browser, a new member
of the firefox/mozilla family.
It comes preconfigured with flash 7 support.

It really should be worth a try.
