Arch64 & nspluginwrapper install issue

First off, what up guys. Newb.

Ive had a bit of trouble installing the nspluginwrapper package on Arch 64 as per the instructions at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _on_Arch64
I installed the dependencies & downloaded/extracted both nsplugin packages.
The first one (nspluginwrapper) installs fine, but the following occurs when I try to install the nspluginwrapper-flash:

    install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz ... FAILED

I'm not sure why the `install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz' package fails the validity check.

Any ideas, is it something obvious Im not seeing? Thanks.

See AUR.

"New md5sum" - that's the clue. It's Macromedia's stupidity for having just "9" in the filename, rather than e.g. 9.0.48.0

Re: Arch64 & nspluginwrapper install issue

what u need to do is edit the pkgbuild build file with the new md5sum.

U can either locate a correct md5sum or u can download the source yourself and run the md5sum command on the file. Something like this...

md5sum nameoffileuwantmd5sumfor

md5sum install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz

this will return the correct md5sum, put this into the pkgbuild where the old md5sum was, then the validity check will pass and u can continue building the source. Someone needs to update the package in the AUR.
