Thank you to the maintainer of the FlashPlayer plug-in, this is hard work! This day i tried to install the port linux-f10-flashplugin-10.3r181.14 on FreeBSD 8.2 AMD64

# whereis nspluginwrapper

nspluginwrapper: /usr/ports/www/nspluginwrapper

# cd /usr/ports/www/nspluginwrapper
# make install clean

# edit /etc/rc.conf

linux_enable="YES"

# kldload linux.ko
# mkdir -p /usr/compat/linux/proc
# mount -t linprocfs linproc /usr/compat/linux/proc
# edit /etc/fstab

linproc         /usr/compat/linux/proc  linprocfs       rw      0       0

Stop in /usr/ports/www/linux-f10-flashplugin10.

I have the ports updated!

I think the problems is in the size of install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz (expected 5456725, actual 5456136) and the "Protocol error" maybe the port?

Any solution?

Thank you.

Ran into this myself too. One way to "fix" it is to adjust the distinfo.

Just run # make makesum and the hash will be calculated from the file it downloads and it will get added to distinfo. After that the build should work again.

It should always be added that the checksums are a safety, and editing them is saying that you verify that the distfile is okay and not compromised.

Also, Adobe likes to change distfiles without changing version numbers.
