Hello,

I'm hoping some can give me some direction with installing adobe-flash with Epiphany 3.2.1. First I tried following the instructions on the wiki page http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Epiphany. I emerged flash, and ran nsconfig as directed, which returned:
Code:
*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR: /usr/lib64/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

I figured that the instructions were outdated, and presumed that emerging flash would bring me a 32 bit installation that would need to be wrapped. I tried manually moving a copy of libflashplayer.so into ~/.mozilla/plugins, but that didn't work. My next guess was to emerge flash with USE="-64bit 32bit" and run nsconfig, which returned:
Code:
Auto-install plugins from /usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins
Looking for plugins in /usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins
Install plugin /usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
  into /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
Auto-install plugins from /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins

So looks like that worked, but still no flash for me. I've read about issues with gtk versions, 32v64 versions and seemingly a whole host of other problems that Epiphany users have ran into in the past, but it's hard to find something current. Did I not do this right, or is it just never gonna work? Thanks!

I got it. I'm not sure why; but I copied the libflashplayer.so that the nsplugin referenced in the above nsconfig output (/usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so) into ~./mozilla and it worked just like that. Not sure what the difference is between this attempt and the attempt I mentioned to copy a libflashplayer.so into the exact same directory, as I mentioned in the op. But good enough! Thanks all.
