Flock kills itself when playing Adoble Flash 10 on Fedora 11
I'm using Flock 2.5 on Fedora 11 and followed instructions from Mozilla to enable Adobe Flash Player. I copied the libflashplayer.so file into the Plugins folder and the about:plugins page shows it should be working fine. The problem is that when I play any flash content, Flock kills itself.
I love Flock and I would like to be able to use it.
Thanks.

Inappropriate?Hey Fabian,
Have you tried Bryan Hudon's instructions at http://getsatisfaction.com/flock/topi... ?
Let me know if those help.

Inappropriate?Thanks a lot for replying. I looked at that and it's just the same as I was doing, except for the flashplugin-alternative.so file that I can't find *anywhere*. Not at Adobe, my computer or Googling it.

Apparently libfreebl3.so that's bundled with the mozilla.com firefox build causes the problem. I've moved libfreebl3 out of the way so that it now uses /lib/libfreebl3.so and flash works in firefox 3.0.10

I’m happy

Inappropriate?This did not solve the problem I'm having. If I copy libflashplayer.so into flock/plugins, Flock crashes as soon as it tries to load a page that contains flash.
Does the Flash player require root permissions (it would be stupid, but does it)? I've installed Flock under my own account.
Another possibility is that I'm running Flock on a 64 bit system with the 32-bit libraries installed. This could possibly cause a problem.

Inappropriate?Phil,
Just delete the /flock/libfreebl3.so file, at least that worked for me. If you did and you still have the problem, then it must be about the x86_64 architecture. I'm running 32 bits Fedora to avoid such issues. -
