I have an x86_64 system.

I tried running (both as root and the user) as suggested in another post:
Code:
nspluginwrapper -i /opt/Adobe/flash-player32/libflashplayer.so


I still get:

Code:
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/Adobe/flash-player32/libflashplayer.so [/opt/Adobe/flash-player32/libflashplayer.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32]


I have:

Code:
www-client/firefox-17.0.6
www-plugins/nspluginwrapper-1.4.4-r3
www-plugins/adobe-flash-11.2.202.285



I only get the error message the first time I run firefox and flash. Subsequent times firefox says a plugin needs to be installed, but I don't get the error.

Looking at opens of flashplayer in strace, I see:

Code:
$ grep libflashplayer /tmp/trace1.txt | grep open
30664 open("/home/klugja/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 55
30695 open("/opt/Adobe/flash-player32/libflashplayer.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 4
30664 open("/opt/Adobe/flash-player32/libflashplayer.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 55
30664 open("/opt/Adobe/flash-player32/libflashplayer.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 55
30715 open("/home/klugja/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 13
30717 open("/opt/Adobe/flash-player32/libflashplayer.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 4
30736 open("/opt/Adobe/flash-player32/libflashplayer.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3

In my case that is ELF64 instead of ELF32; could you pastebin your complete build log of www-plugins/adobe-flash and the `emerge --info` output?

Apparently I have useflags that no longer work on my system (I hadn't updated in a while). I removed these:

Code:
32bit -64bit


I emerged libflashplayer with the defaults, and everything is OK with firefox. Chromium worked both ways.
