How Do I Install Flash Player 9 On PS3 YDL 5.0.1

[SixOneDeuce]

Does Anyone Know How To Install Adobe Flash Player 9 on PS3 YDL 5.0.1??

[glennzo]

Wouldn't the process be the same as any other distro? Download it from Adobe (the .tar.gz file), move it to /opt (just my place to install from) expand the archive which will create /opt/installflashplayerxxxxx and copy libflashplayer.so to the Firefox plugins folder, which, on my Fedora installs, is /usr/lib/firefox2.0.0.4/plugins. Restart Firefox and test flash.

[SixOneDeuce]

thanks, but that didnt work.

[bigtomrodney]

I don't think Adobe are creating a PPC build for Flash. PPC would be the nearest equivalent for Cell. You might look at

Gnash - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)

It is still in an early stage but I believe it supports YouTube videos.

ok i downloaded Gnash.tar.gz but i am having trouble installing it, i extracted it to /opt/ then try installing through the terminal but its not working, what file do i need to install??

[bigtomrodney]

Did you download a source tarball? In that case in a terminal you need to :-

cd /path/to/untarred/files
./configure
make
make install

If you have any errors in the ./configure stage post them back here if they seem cryptic or you are not sure how to proceed.

[SixOneDeuce]

yeah thats a little confusing

cd /path/to/untarred/files
./configure
make
make install


i saved the file to my desktop but dont know how to access the path /???

[SixOneDeuce]

ok heres exactly lhow i typed in the terminal

cd /opt/gnash-0.8.0.tar.gz./configure then i get a error message saying that thats not a directory

/opt/ is where i downloaded the tarball file to.

do i need to extract the file??

[bigtomrodney]

Putting them in /opt isn't a great idea as they are not intalled yet. Anyway, we'll try and work around. Open a terminal and paste this into it. This will extract and attempt to build the software. Enter your root password when prompted. You will not see the password being entered or echoed back to you.

su -
cd /opt
tar xvf gnash-0.8.0.tar.gz
cd gnash-0.8.0
./configure
make
make install

heres the message im getting now

sorry about this being so long
