[SOLVED] Gnash

[Fitzy]

I was trying to install gnash for my new fedora box, I am newly freed from windows, and I got this message. I looked around on the interwebs. Everyones problem seems to be unique to them and when I try their remedies they don't work. Can someone help me?



Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

Where were you trying to download from?
Were you using yum?
What's with the double quotes at the end of the URL?

I am downloading from the fedora wiki http(COLON)//fedoraproject(DOT)org/wiki/Flash#Installing_Gnash]Flash - FedoraProject

Yes I was using yum

and the quotes fit with the syntax properly
-> "baseurl = -> 'h*t*t*p://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Everything/i386/os/ -> ' -> ": URL must be http, ftp, file or https not -> " -> "

-> indicate quotes

I am using the exact syntax on the wiki.

I also would like to team gnash up with lightspark and I need a version of shockwave flash.

Thank you for your time.

Is this the site you are using?

Flash - FedoraProject

Are you just doing the commands at the bottom of the page for installing Gnash?
The reason I asked about the double quotes is because it is mentioned in the error message in your first post.

[Fitzy]

Yes that is the site I am using.

The error http..blah.. and not "" means that it has to be http blah and not "<blank>" if you look it up some people have ..and not "rsync" or "servername"

Yes I am using those commands, if you know a better way, whether easier or harder, let me know. This comp is for my wife, and I need to run flash, shockwave, and any other software to allow face book, and youtube. Thats all she needs.

No package gnash-plugin available.

That would indicate the gnash-plugin wasn't found so maybe changing repositories??
Don't really know, as I said, I don't use Fedora so I don't know what other options you might have.

[Fitzy]

That fixed it!!
thank you for your time.
