linux-flashplayer running

Oh, I'm in trouble now.  I was getting a bit frustrated, because all the
different names that my browsers hide under, and the fact that 2 other items
confuse things:

1) the config dirs aren't always named after the program, and
2) the G_D_ ports often installed things into /usr/local/ even for linux
things, and other times into /compat, and that terribly screws things up.

Why am I complaining?  Because now, for Linux-firefox, I do have the
flashplayer.9 working, but with all the screwing around I couldn't duplicate
it.  The problem was initially the flashplayer, because the version in  ports
no longer even exists.  I went to the Adobe site, and just got the latest.
Then, the version of libdl that Linux-firefox wants is not only different
thanthe version that the flashplayer wants, they (I think) aren't always
looking in the same dir for it.

Whatever, it CAN be done, because I did it.

Boy, I wish that the portsmeisters would (once and for all, plublicly) decide
that linux libs have to install into the /compat/linux tree.  If they would go
on record for that, I would begin fixing ports to obey it.  Can't do that now.
