fail to install flash

When I do # kldload linux then I see this message:

Code: 
kldload: can't load linux: No such file or directory

So it looks it's not on my base system.

Nope, I installed the 8.0 release and updated it to 9.0-release. And I'm using the standard installation and kernel.
 
I found out how I can make this module by using this page: http://forums.freebsd.org/archive/index.php/t-28043.html

But when I do : # make I see this error message:

Stop in /usr/src/sys/modules/linux.

So it seems to me that I have an arch problem. It looks like the module I need is x86 where my system is amd64.
 
/usr/include/x86/_align.h

It's unlikely to help you. Something larger is broken on that system. I would update the source and do a full buildworld/kernel/installworld.
 
Okay, that will cost me three to four hours but if I then have a system that works I'm happy.
Thanks for all the help.

Before you do that, make sure /etc/src.conf is empty, and remove any odd settings from /etc/make.conf, like CFLAGS.
 
/etc/src.conf does not exist on my system and /etc/make.conf has only this:
Code: 
PERL_VERSION = 5.10.1
 
Flash is installed but not recognized. Tomorrow I will try to find out why. But if someone has a idea I'm happy to hear it.
 
I need help once again on this matter. I did all the steps according to the handbook.
But still I see this message on the
Code: 
 about:plugins
screen:
Code: 
No enabled plugins found
Find more information about browser plugins at mozilla.org.
Find updates for installed plugins at mozilla.com/plugincheck.
Help for installing plugins is available from plugindoc.mozdev.org.

I tried different soft links like this one:
# ln -s /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/local/include/firefox/mozilla/plugins

# ln -s /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/extensions

# ln -s /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so \
/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/

But still the same message.

Don't link all over like that. Remove the extra links, and just do what the Handbook says. The next step is probably running nspluginwrapper. Note that it must be run as the normal user that will be running the browser, not root.
 
Okay, then I do that wrong. I will try that and report back.

Maybe a stupid question: can I remove the soft links by using # rm /usr/local/include/firefox/mozilla/plugins?
 
Hello,

All problems solved by creating another user and then doing the nspluginwrapper command.
