following the Ubuntu guide on how to install Adobe Air
Linux on Desktop: Installing Adobe Air and some AIR applications on Ubuntu 8.10
I issued the two advised commands (as substitute user or root)
chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
and then
./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
and the install seemed to proceed uneventfully
Wish it did for me. On my 11.0 system, when I try the above, I get:
# ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
Error loading the runtime (libadobecertstore.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
Any ideas where the heck my “libadobecrtstore.so” went missing?
would you be running a 64bit OpenSuse?
check this out
Install Adobe AIR Linux 1.5 on 64-bit Linux distributions
they say
To install AIR 1.5 on 64-bit OpenSUSE 11, you must manually install the 32-bit files by following these directions:
and the instructions are detailed after the above …
I think the linux community needs to praise Adobe for these excellent instructions on the above link; a great piece of work by Adobe
It’d be a better piece of work if they just provided the RPM. Or, even better, made an opensuse repository.
But irregardless, I saw that page and it doesn’t help for my 32 bit opensuse. It isn’t complaining about libxml, but something called ‘libadobecertstore.so’ and I can’t figure out where it is supposed to come from.
we use Gnome;
and if go to: Computer: More Applications; System: Search for Files (Gnome Tool); and search throughout the File System
and enter libadobecertstore.so
… it says that it is in /usr/lib
How goes this on your computer? (If you use KDE, you will know of the equivalent
I note that in the Ubuntu guide; for a 64bit Ubuntu
step 14 is:
Adobe AIR is now installed on your system.
Just one more step before you start installing and using AIR apps. Enter the following command:
sudo cp /usr/lib/libadobecertstore.so /usr/lib32
however my 32bit Suse only has /usr/lib
pdc_2,
Sounds fine for Ubuntu but not so good for Suse.
I tried to follow the route for 32 bit lib files for my 64 bit installation but failed to find the files in the repositories.
I managed to set this up om my Mac yesterday to use with BBCi and all went smoothly, well not bad for a BBC system. I’ll try looking for the files again unless you can point me to a repository you know has them?

hi pete2; welcome to the OpenSuse forums;
1) what I was trying to do in the last post was to ask hieronymous to see if the file libadobecertstore.so was installed anywhere on their system;
I was just commenting that Ubuntu 64 has a /usr/lib32; if you open a terminal; and type
cd /usr
and then type
ls
do you find amidst the many things listed
lib
and
lib32
??
(typing these commands as a user is fine: you cannot change such files, and that is a safety feature of linux; if my comments are wrong, forum members can correct me)
2) when you said
but failed to find the files in the repositories.
I didn’t understand: to me, repositories are stores of files accessed over the internet: so the repository for AdobeAir was their website;
can you clarify what you meant please;
maybe other forum members using 64bit Suse can comment on what they have done with library problems:
it usually involves creating a symbolic link between 32bit and 64 bit libraries;
(We have stuck to 32bit Suse as it avoids such problems … and folks say 64bit ain’ quicker … 64bit just sounds more impressive)
as in
pdc_2,
You are correct with your repository definition, I was looking in the suse repository that was set up in Yast. Turned out I needed to look in another one to find the files which I eventually did. Having downloaded them I thought they had installed OK but AdobeAIRInstaller.bin wouldn’t run and I couldn’t find the 32 bit files so I’m trying it all again today. One thing that puzzles me a little is the Adobe bin file, I thought I should be able to run this in a terminal without the 32 bit files but I just get permission denied errors even when using root permission!
Any ideas?
sudo cp /usr/lib/libadobecertstore.so /usr/lib32
that trick solved the problem
thanks dude
Unfortunately with my configuration (openSuSE 11.2, KDE, 64-bit) AIR is just refusing to install.
It gets to the terms window, I click “Accept” and then get this strange message:
“An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator.”
I am running the installation as root and root owns the .bin file. Also, I have all the 32-bit prerequisites installed. There is no output on the console.
Any clues.
Hi
Install as your user not root… change ownership back, and put it in
your home directory.

I had no trouble installing AIR but it didn’t do me any good. I installed it to use one app: Tweetdeck. When I installed Tweetdeck, it gave me an error message that my computer didn’t like AIR and it couldn’t install. Tweetdeck did install but didn’t work. So, getting AIR installed is only half the battle.
Here is a simple guide on Installing AIR
It turned out I was missing the 32bit version of RPM lib. I have it now installed OK.
Anyway, to get more information installing AIR you can always do
touch ~/.airinstall.log
Install worked with no problems. Now, just need to install an application or two.
fantastic. I installed the 32bit version of RPM and i was able to install air on 64bit openSuse no problem. Thanks.
