This is what I used (from an archived posting to this list): $ cd /usr/src $ fetch http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nork/rtld_dlsym_hack.diff $ patch < rtld_dlsym_hack.diff $ cd libexec/rtld-elf $ sudo make rtld $ sudo make install I also had to make symlinks from libflashplayer.so and flashplayer.xpt to=20 the /npapi and /browser-plugins folders and update /etc/libmap.conf=20 (change "flash6" to "flash7" wherever it appears, basically) to get this to= =20 work.
