Gnash unable to work thanks to a missing libGLU.so.1 file.

When I try to use gnash to open a flash file, it spits this error at me:

gnash: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is there anything I can do to fix this? Also, I need to make this act as a plugin for Firefox, as well. I originally tried the 32-bit solution for Arch64, but ran into some weird quirks/bugs that made it unusable.

Edit: According to #archlinux's bot, mesa owns /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1, but it wasn't a dependency of gnash. Should I install mesa or is there another solution?
Edit2: I tried installing mesa and gnash seemed to work, but barely. I think there's another solution for this.. perhaps there's some symlinking to be done?

Re: Gnash unable to work thanks to a missing libGLU.so.1 file.

the actual file in question is LibGLU ... note +U+, you need to correct the title of this thread ...

.....

[raeven@Lux32  ~]# p -Qo /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1
/usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 is owned by mesa 6.5.3-1
..
the file is owned by hte mesa pkg, if you haven't got it installed, install it otherwise re-install it.

Thanks for pointing out the title typo.

I tried installing mesa, but gnash doesn't seem to work well with any Flash files I've attempted to view.
