i tried the foll:
Desktop# tar -xvf libflashplayer.so
AS WELL AS
lib# tar -xvf libflashplayer.so
GOT THE FOLLOWING ERROR
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[root@localhost lib]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/lib/libflashplayer.so
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[root@localhost lib]# make install
GOT THIS ERROR
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
The libflashplayer.so file is no tar archive so you don't have to process it with tar. If you place the file in the correct directory you should be able to play videos like from YouTube in your browser.
