Thanks for your prompt & precise response. It puts me in a bit of a 
bind, since I have never used github :-/ .... I'm on FBSD 9.3, so no 
linux-c6 (apparently) available. My distinfo in my linux-f10-flashplugin 
ports directory already shows the same info on the webpage, i.e. I seem 
to be already using the software referenced above, non ? Please advise & 
thanks for any guidance you can provide :-) ....
