If you install the rpm compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm from your Fedora CDs, then the flash plugin will load. on my manual install I tried to install compat-libstdc++-7.3- 2.96.118.i386.rpm. However, it fail trying to install off the cd and from a rpm from off the net. this is because add/remove programs has a HUGE bug in it that was reported I believe on test #2 but it was never fixed. In sum you cannot install rpm's and you cannot rebuild the database either. so installing compat-... is not an option. none the less if we are trying to make this operating system so everyone can use it thoes are 2 major areas that need to be looked at. The average windows user doesn't even know what a plugin is. How can we expect to have them manually install these plugins and know that they need to install other packages for these plugins to work. We often forget that most of the linux community are huge geeks and often programmers ourselves. We over look the little guy that we are trying to allow to use Redhat. Yeah, we know. However, this is a problem with the current flash plugin. And I'm building a release note page for this for Mozilla in Fedora Core. |
