But anyway, you might try symlinking /path/to/{gnash} to /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/{same_name}. The gnash player will not play all flash videos properly (I know, I've tried it before). You'd do *much* better to install www/linux-f10-flashplugin11 and www/nspluginwrapper. This does require linux emulation to be enabled, of course, but it's well worth it. I play flash videos all the time now in firefox and chrome, and it works splendidly. Also, on YouTube, if you enroll in the HTML5 Beta test, many videos on YouTube will play without even using the flash player. See http://www.youtube.com/html5 HTH -- Conrad J. Sabatier conrads@cox.net
