nspluginwrapper install, and flash

Hi, I just migrated from Ubuntu, thus I've never had to build package before. I downloaded nspluginwrapper from AUR, went into the directory, did a makepkg and got a nspluginwrapper.install among other files. My question is, where do I go from here? How do I install it so I can install flash (already downloaded) and get it to work with firefox? This would also help with installing other packages, such as Sega Genesis emulators.

Re: nspluginwrapper install, and flash

First, you need to ensure that you have a nspluginwrapper.x.y-z.pkg.tar.gz file in the current directory. Then execute 'pacman -A nspluginwrapper.x.y-z.pkg.tar.gz' to install the newly built package. You should have already installed the necessary lib32 packages at this point. Next, download the correct nspluginwrapper-flash package from AUR, build and repeat the above install instructions.

I tried that, however, this is what I got.

[root@myhost ~]# pacman -A nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.2-1.pkg.tar.gz
loading package data... could not open package: No such file or directory

[root@myhost ~]#

Re: nspluginwrapper install, and flash

When you built it, did you notice any output? I ask because if you don't change the permissions on rpmextract.sh to make it executable, the build will fail. This is true at least as a regular user; I never tried it as root.

I ran it using the root console.
