I already got firefox3 running with "flash and thunder", but I thought
it would be worthwhile to upgrade, so I build libflashsupport-pulse and
adobe-flash-plugin from source.

However, when I try to install them I get the following errors:


root%asus.immnet.dk@localhost:/usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/libflashsupport-pulse # 
make install

What is the correct way the continue?

Just to 'pkg_delete <package>' and 'make install' or
is it possible to make some other form of update process, so one can
roll back in case the newer versions don't work as expected?



Another questions regarding flashplayer plugins. I have got an older
version of libflashplayer to (sort of) work with the Opera browser
(my preferred browser) via the nspluginwrapper. But the sound and
video are playing too quickly as if the sampling rates are set too
high. Is it possible to adjust these rates?


And finally I have been unable to setup newer libflashplayers with the
nspluginwrappers. I get the error:

imm%asus.immnet.dk@localhost:/home/imm => nspluginwrapper -i 
/usr/pkg/lib/netscape/plugins/new.libflashplayer.so
nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for 
/usr/pkg/lib/netscape/plugins/new.libflashplayer.so
imm%asus.immnet.dk@localhost:/home/imm => 

Shouldn't it be possible to install any Linux binary plugin via the
nspluginwrapper?

Kind regards
