Angry firebird and flash problems


ok. this is bugging me.
i just installed slackware 9 (full) onto one of my computers.
i then proceeded to download the binary firebird and unpack it to /usr/bin.
next, i downloaded the ttfonts and urw-fonts rpms from rpmfind.net, ran rpm2tgz on them, and pkgtooled em.
finally, i installed flash 6 by telling it /usr/bin/MozillaFirebird/ as the install. i checked the plugins directory, it installed correclty.
BUT
whenever i try to visit a page with flash on it, firebird just crashes completely. how do i fix this!? thanks!

Hi, it seems you've done the right thing, but anyway, here's a list of my Firebird plugins dir:

Quote:
rafael@arak:/usr/local/MozillaFirebird/plugins$ ls -l
total 1464
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 856 Sep 2 00:59 flashplayer.xpt*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 58 Sep 1 22:09 javaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/local/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1470464 Sep 2 00:59 libflashplayer.so*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 1000 users 21120 Sep 4 00:49 libnullplugin.so*
I had the flashplayer installed on Mozilla 1.4 and just copied the 2 files to the Mozilla Firebird plugins dir, it works great.
