oscarlevin 0 Posted March 7, 2004 I am trying to intall the Flash player. I follow the readme's instructions, but get stuck when the install program asks me to "Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape, or Opera browser (i.e. /usr/lib/mozilla): #". I enter "/usr/lib/mozilla" and it returns "WARNING: Please enter a valid installation path" and prompts me again. What should I enter? (I am running a freshly installed Mandrake 9.2). Thanks OL Share this post Link to post
maurice71 0 Posted March 7, 2004 Probably you need to use the path /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4 That is the actually path with the correct /plugins directory in which extensions will need to be placed. Hope this helps.[/b] Share this post Link to post
Dapper Dan 0 Posted March 8, 2004 Ditto what maurice71 said. Go into /usr/lib and find out the version you have. Mine is mozilla-1.4.1. Flash will not install to the plain mozilla folder. Share this post Link to post

Dapper Dan 0 Posted March 16, 2004 What distro are you using and what version of Mozilla? That will determine how it must be installed. Share this post Link to post
