    hi,
    1) which rpm?
    2) where did you get it?
    3) which distro are you using?
    4) what version of that distro?
    5) 32bit or 64bit?
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.

    Have you tried installing with yum?

    Code:
    su -
yum install flash-plugin
    This page should help.

    Looks handy...
    But I notice that it requires enabling several extra repos. While it might not happen, that could lead to some nasty conflicts with software and the related dependencies.
    Probably better to just stick with the the tried and true repos from Fusion and/or Livna.

    Just my opinion, though

    Just rpmfusion, flash, and the Fedora ones. You can disable any of these that don't strike your fancy.
    From RPM Fusion.org, "RPM Fusion is a merger of Dribble, Freshrpms, and Livna;"
