I'm running 64 bit Arch version 2010.05 and I installed flashplugin. When I navigate to a Flash website Firefox segfaults. It also happens on other pages such as Gmail. Chromium doesn't segfaults with Flash or any other page but Flash doesn't work either. If I uninstall Flash Firefox doesn't segfaults anymore, even on pages that don't use Flash. Any ideas?
Update: I downloaded the 10.1 64 bit alpha from Adobe but it still doesn't work. Chrome doesn't report any problem on the console but Flash doesn't work and Firefox still segfaults.
Thanks in Advance.

I did it! It works with nspluginwrapper. Some asshole hacked the page with nspluginwrapper so I had to download a Debian package with the binary in it.

I am just curious, because I am going to install the 64 bit version of Arch. Did you manage to install Flash as 64 bit, or did you install the 32 bit version? It has been a while since I dealt with Flash in Linux, and the last time I did it Flash wasn't available in 64 bit so I am curious!

I don't know what the OP was doing wrong but I've never had problems with Firefox 64bit and flash from the official repos.
It is not recommended to install anything without pacman and AFAIK there is no reason to use ndiswrapper for flash anymore.

I installed 32 bit Flash using nspluginwrapper. Everywhere I read it says that the flashplugin package should install a working 64 bit plugin but it doesn't work. Firefox segfaults with this plugin and Chrome doesn't show any flash and complains about an ELF32 binary.
sand_man: Can you please post your libflashplayer.so so I can try it? Thanks! At least your md5sum to compare.
EDIT: Chrome doesn't complain anymore but still doesn't show any flash. Firefox still segfaults.

I fixed it, curl was borked and didn't run. I deleted every curl file detected by pacman and reinstalled it using pacman. Now it works!
