also, tried to use a source rpm to build a 64 bit w32 codec. the 64 bit rpm is built in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86-64, however, after the install yast shows that the installed version is a 32 bit. The codecs ARE 32 bit codecs. Building on x86_64 would only move the 32 bit codecs to the /usr/lib64 tree instead of /usr/lib tree, but nothing else (and in my opinion they should therefore be left in /usr/lib, so just install the i586 version of this rpm). BTW, the firefox in 10.1 is only 32 bit, that's why flash works w. it. This 32/64 bit issue did not move forward at all.
Contact Adobe, which bought out Macromedia. It is closed source, and they apparently cannot or do not want to port it to 64 bit, and will not open the source to let the linux community do what they cannot or will not do. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871
