Installing Flashplayer 10 in Suse 10.3

I’m trying to install the new Adobe version 10 flashplayer for Firefox. I’ve downloaded the .tar.gz file from Adobe, and unpacked it (tar -xvzf). I get the libflashplayer.so file, but no installer file.

What am I doing wrong?

OpenSuse 10.3, KDE 3.5.7 (release 72.11), FIrefox 3.5, 1.4 Ghz CPU.

There is no installer you just copy the file libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/browser-plugins

You must have removed any flash in Yast first

You must be su to copy the file over
This assumes you are 32 bit
If _64 it’s /usr/lib64/browser-plugins

Thanks! That did it. The instructions on the adobe page are wrong.

Happy to be of some assistance;)
