I have just upgrade to Opensuse 12.2 64 bit - KDE and I want to install Adobe Air. I followed this tutorial SDB:AdobeAir installation - openSUSE but this didn’t work.
How can I install AdobeAir?.
From The state of Adobe AIR | Adobe Blog
Adobe AIR for Linux is no longer supported. To access older, unsupported
versions, please read the AIR archive.
Different operating system?
So checkout the mentioned AIR archive.

Please be more specific, what exact command do you use and what is the
output you get from the command when you execute it.

I wrote these commands
-
chmod +x AdobeAIRInstalller.bin
-
./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin but nothing happens, so I use the same command but whit sudo (sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin) and I get this
(/tmp/air.qDm7xA/setup:5117): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
Thanks.
Do not use sudo here for that (this is not ubuntu, sudo is not
configured to run gui programs by default), use kdesu since you use kde
and the full path to the installer
kdesu /path/to/the/file/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
does that work for you (of course with the correct path)?

I used kdesu but it couldn’t work and I didn’t have any result (output).
Thanks a lot

I have never installed adobe air myself so I can only give very generic
help. Just to be sure what you say:
It did absolutely nothing?
Which version of adobe air was that what you tried to install?
From what I have seen 2.6 seems to be the last which was supported for
linux, maybe it is no longer compatible with newer linux systems. I hope
someone who actually uses it can give some info (if there is anyone at
all who uses it).
You did not say what you need it for, for the few things which are not
supported on linux I have a virtual machine with Windows available on my
PC, in my case VirtualBox with Windows 7 in it.
Maybe it is an option for you to do that also.

With Suse 11.4, installation of adobeair.i386.rpm (version 2.6,
md5sum=895c251e3070289c045d633ecb12b5bc) was no problem,
but with 12.2 is fails now, without giving reasons: if some dependency is missing,
shouldn’t the installer find out about this?

The installer was made by Adobe, so ask them…

That doesn’t help much.
Here’s the message I get after installing the required files:
./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
/tmp/air.955HBE/setup: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have the file, it is in /usr/lib64/
Can someone indicate where do I have to put the link?
This might be another option:
Install Adobe AIR 2 | 64-bit Linux
But don’t want to mess with gtk-devel.
*Edit:
Created a link in /usr/lib/
using
ln -s /usr/lib64/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
couldn’t get a good result.
Later installed Acrobat Reader and it worked.
May be someone can replay the procedure.

Sorry for the incorrect command:
ln -s /usr/lib64/libgtk-x11-2.0.so /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0-so
that is the one that probably didn’t work.
Right now I’m testing FlairBuilder.

When I was trying to install Adobe Air last year on 12.1 I was informed
that Adobe is no longer supporting AdobeAir on Linux. AYBE WRONG> If its
true then you maybe able to recompile it for 12.2 if you can get the
soruce code.

Don’t mix 64 with 32. You may destroy your system with those things.
