flash does not work using: opera-devel-qt4 + flashplugin x86_64

I'm not a huge fan of Konqueror so I installed Opera on my x86_64 KDE 4.2.2 installation. The standard opera package works well enough, but it is the 9.x version. The 10.x version (beta) supports the newer qt4 libraries, so it looks all shiny in the KDE environment. My problem is, when I install aur/opera-devel-qt4 and flashplugin, Opera doesn't detect that I have flash installed.  "No plugins detected" it says.

Part of the issue, I'm guessing, is that the aur/opera-devel-qt4 is listed as i686 only. I've found that if I simply add x86_64 to the arch that it'll build and run fine. Now I'm sure it is very likely simply running in 32 compatibility mode based on the huge number of lib32- packages I have installed. So, my theory is that flashplugin installed as x86_64 and aur/opera-devel-qt4 installed as 32bit and the two aren't getting along.

Any ideas on how I can get around this issue? I prefer the later version of Opera with qt4 support and I could like without flash if I had to.. but I'd prefer not.

Hi there...

I have a fresh x86_64 install... Do you have any idea what lib32 packages are needed to be able to run opera-devel-qt4 on it...?

I don't know exactly which packages are required, but I'd like to find out so we can submit a patch to the AUR maintainer.

I did find a solution to my initial problem. I needed 32bit flashplugin + some lib32 depends to get it working in Opera. I put together a aur/flashplugin-universal package on that should provide both architectures for users running both 32 and 64 bit browsers.
