libflashplayer linux x86_64

[kotau1]

Hi,

I am running Fedora 11 x86_64 and have the latest beta for libflashplayer installed.

I have a problem which I hope is easy to solve but I cannot find any information online.

Currently when the plugins searches for pulseaudio libraries it looks in /usr/lib/alsa-lib/. However on the Fedora 11 x86_64 platform the correct libraries for 64 bit apps are located in /usr/lib64/alsa-lib/.

I have tried installing libflashsupport and modifying the build to look in /usr/lib64/ which is working except that libflashplayer bypasses libflashsupport.

The only way I can get libflashplayer to use pulseaudio on my system is to link the pulse libs from /usr/lib64/alsa-lib to /usr/lib/alsa-lib/. I would be happy to do this except that I need to have the correct 32 bit lins in the /usr/lib/alsa-lib/ folder so that I can use skype and realplayer and other closed source binaries that are built for 32bit systems.

I would prefer not to use the 32bit build of libflashplayer on my system as the 64 bit build works much better for me.

Is there a simple config option I can add to my profile that will tell libflashplayer to use /usr/lib64/ instead of /usr/lib/  ?

Cheers

our resident linux guru, penguinSWF, states:

The Linux Flash Player does not search through paths; it just attempts to open "libasound.so" or "libasound.so.2". The file /etc/ld.so.conf determines which paths those files might be located in.

hope that's enough for you to sift through.
