Sigh, if I'd realized how difficult it would become, I'd have documented
what I did--at the time, I think linuxpluginwrapper worked and I didn't
pay attention.
Ahhhh--ok, I didn't realize that I'd done this--(as I said, it was a
long time ago, and I just looked now--I always start it with a key
binding from fluxbox, and had simply forgotten that I had done it this
way.). For some reason I didn't use the port, I simply downloaded
the source and built it in my home directory. That is, I
downloaded the firefox source code for Linux, and as user, just ran the
install script. After that, flash just worked, and has continued to
work.
In my home/firefox (NOT .firefox--as I said I just did this in my $HOME
directory) I have a plugins directory--it just has a symlink to to
/usr/X11R6/lib/lib/linux-flashplugin7/libflashplayer.so
Sorry for such haphapzard information here, I use flash for an online
pingpong game and to check TV guide listings and that's it, so I hadn't
payed much attention. I set it up quite awhile ago.
