32 bit flash on 64 bit Arch

I actually downloaded nspluginwrapper-flash and nspluginwrapper-debian from AUR.

I proceeded to makepkg -s in the nspluginwrapper-debian folder and it didn't work citing some dependency issues.

So i proceed to use yaourt to build nspluginwrapper-debian.

But that says this

==> Building and installing package
==> Install or build missing dependencies for nspluginwrapper-debian:
error: 'lib32-gcc-libs': could not find or read package

Anyone has any idea how i can clear these 32-bit dependency issues?

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

There's a Wiki entry on using nspluginwrapper-flash:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _on_Arch64

It doesn't answer your specific problem, but it may be useful nonetheless.

That package breaks Flash support for browsers which don't use nspluginwrapper  (Opera, for instance, which can run 32 bit plugins on its own, and even blacklists nspluginwrapper). This is because the plugin gets installed in a folder from nspluginwrapper (in which Opera obviously doesn't look for plugins). From what I know (seen in OpenSUSE) it's better to install the flash plugin in the Firefox plugin folder (which Opera also looks in) and place the nspluginwrapper itself also in that folder. Firefox can't run the 32 bit plugins so that isn't a problem and it can run the plugins wrapped from nspluginwrapper so the plugins work and Opera just uses the 32 bit plugins and can blacklist the nspluginwrapper.

Well, simply put path to the 32 bit plugin into Opera's plugin path, and it works. The dependency on nspluginwrapper is bogus if you use it that way, but at least it doesn't hurt.
