I just got the tarball, untarballed it, did a make, make install, which basically put lib/libflashplayer.so.1 into /usr/local/lib . Then followed the directions in the info file which entailed cp /usr/local/lib/flash/libflashplayer.so \ /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer_linux.so cp /usr/local/lib/flash/ShockwaveFlash.class \ /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins/ and putting LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libflashplayer.so.1 export LD_PRELOAD at the top of the file /usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla just below the shebang But I guess some more magic is required that the ports takes care of. I did see in the ports makefile there is a post patch section so like you say maybe some patching is required. I was under the understanding that this program was written specifialy for freebsd, and thought it would not need patching. Well guess I will use the port. Thanks for the help.
