nspluginwrapper: no viewer found
 

I'm sure a number of users here are familiar with the nsplugginwrapper trick to get the Flash plugin operational on a 64-bit system.

I've looked through all the links on the first page of Google and I can't find an answer to my question.

This used to work and now it doesn't...

sudo nspluginwrapper -i libflashplayer.so used to work, and now it doesn't...

/usr/bin/linux32: /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin: No such file or directory
nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for libflashplayer.so


The funny thing of it is... that file DOES exist.


Any idea what the problem could be?
Thanks

libnss3 missing
 

the "verbose" option gives an answer:


the solution for suse: open the software-installer and search/install "libnss3".
the next try gives me:

On my Debian boxes, i just add the Debian Multimedia repository to /etc/apt/sources.list.

Then: aptitude install nspluginwrapper flashplayer-mozilla

That's it!
Also there is a native 64bit plugin for flash available from the Adobe website.
Can't say how well it works as i haven't tried it myself.

This thread has helped, but leads me to this from nspluginwrapper:

*** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so

What on earth does THAT mean?

Thanks.

PS: Have installed and use the 64-bit version of Adobe's flash player. Seems to work just fine.
