I solved my flash player problem.
I think it was a wrong version of libplayer.so that i was using.
I downloaded the one off this site and it worked.

okay so when im logged in as kelvin (myself) and then i right click xfire and i click lead with wine program loader, it tells me that wine child process failed to start (permission denied).
then when i do it as root it tells me the same thing except it says instead of permission denied, it says no such directory?
this leads me to believe that whenever i do the installpkg on the .txz file its not installing correctly?
and i also tried a slackbuild script and it told me that it cant compile 32 bit stuff.
also for wine, it says that /usr/bin/wine doesnt exist. i think thats the problem.

As I said before, please start that from the commandline and give us the exact command and error-messages.

and for wine cfg i get this:

/usr/bin/winecfg: line 29: /usr/bin/wine: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/winecfg: line 29: /usr/bin/wine: Success
root@caramba:/home/kelvin_silva/Downloads#
what i dont understand is, how can it be a success if theres no directory in the first place?

@katokato
in the wine Slackbuilds tar.gz file did you read this piece ?

NOTE: This will not build on a stock 64bit Slackware system, and we do not
support doing so with 32bit-compatibility packages. That doesn't mean
that it won't work - we just don't support it at all.

So If you want to run wine on a 64 bit slackware you have to install 32 bit compatibility packages

or go to http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/multilib/

You will find many how to on this site
