Opera + Adobe Flash Plugin

I can't install Adobe Flash Plugin on my Opera browser (v 9.63). I run the installer and it said the installation suceeded, but when I restarted Opera I am still with no plugin on "opera:plugins". I've also tried to manually copy libflashplayer.so to /usr/bin/opera/plugins but it didn't work either.
I am posting some errors messages that shows when I start opera from xterm:

bash-3.2# ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".

Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
opera: X Shared memory extension is not available. ZPixmap not supported
opera: Activated running instance

Thansk in advance.

So you downloaded Flash from Adobe and ran that ?  if so there's an easier way.  Check the wiki :
