Error running linux-flashplugin6/linuxpluginwrapper

I have installed www/firefox, www/linux-flashplugin6 and
www/linuxpluginwrapper from ports. From that I should get flash support in
firefox. When I start firefox is complains with the following error
message:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
  /usr/local/lib/linux-flashplugin6/libflashplayer.so [Shared object
  "libpthread.so.0" not found]
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
  /usr/local/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so [Shared object
  "libc.so.6" not found]

(I focus on the flash problem now.)


libpthread.so.0 is installed and the machine has linux support:

$ locate libpthread.so.0
/usr/compat/linux/lib/libpthread.so.0

$ uname -r
5.1-RELEASE-p8

$ kldstat | grep linux
 4    1 0xc4332000 18000    linux.ko

$ grep linux /etc/rc.conf
linux_enable="YES"


I tested to make a symbolic link from /lib/libpthread.so.0 to
/usr/compat/linux/lib/libpthread.so.0 and updated the regular FreeBSD
library cache (with ldconfig) and then libpthread.so.0 seems to be
found, but libflashplayer.so compained about anohter library.


Does anyone have a suggestion what is wrong?
