Good enough for 32 bit, but what about 64 bit?

For Debian Lenny 64 after installing libstdc++5 I used an older version from getDeb:

http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/getdeb/ubuntu/hardy/fl/flock_2.5.2-1~getdeb1_amd64.deb

Maybe a newer version would have worked.
Then:

apt-get install flashplayer-mozilla

cp /usr/lib/flashplayer/libflashplayer.so /usr/share/flock/plugins

Thank you! Open Apps. Tried the authors instructions. Needs more detail on cd flock. That does not make sense. A person would have the path. Installing with GetDeb makes the common non-geek person want to keep using Linux systems such as Ubuntu.

Thanks again

Just wanna add an important snippet (tested on 8.10)

If you want to enable flash in Flock all you have to do is:
1)Goto /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
2)Copy the file “flashplugin-alternative.so”
3)Goto the flock (extracted) directory
4)Make a new folder and name it “flash”
5)Paste it
6)Restart your flock, and make sure thal all its processors are down.

Ps: After pasting it you’ll realize that you don’t have privileges, but it’s ok, no need to change’em. enjoy

You could also use GetDeb to install an unofficial Ubuntu .deb.
