Running Opera in x86_64 ... flash player? [solved]

I'm running Opera in Arch x86_64.  What can I use for a flash plugin, and how would I install it?

I'm using yaourt (a pacman/srcpac/aurbuild wrapper) and it gives me this one:

aur/nspluginwrapper-flash 9.0.31.0-2
    32bit browserplugins for arch64 and nspluginwrapper - flash9-plugin

I installed this package the other day and I ran into this problem ...

[root@myhost f2]# pacman -A ns*64*z
loading package data... done.
checking dependencies... done.
cleaning up... done.

Run nspluginwrapper -v -a -i for automatic detection (/home/max/.mozilla/plugins directory must exist)
[root@myhost f2]# nspluginwrapper -v -a -i
bash: nspluginwrapper: command not found

notice the section labeled "Linking the Flash Plugin to Firefox"
its the same command but your supposed to run it as user not root

Even running it as a normal user ...

[max@myhost bin]$ nspluginwrapper -v -a -i
bash: nspluginwrapper: command not found

Ah-ha!  Make SURE you chmod 777 rpmextract.sh (or something similar) before you do a pacman -U!

In other words ... solved

That stumped me for a while too! Someone should add this to the wiki to save others some confusion.

Where is this file to chmod? I can't find it anywhere!
Please help

Thanks in advance.
