Anyone know how to install flash6 on FreeBSD 5.4?  This is what I

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin6.

The URL suggests to install flash7 or flash8 but I heard that these
versions are unstable and frequently crash firefox (I'm using

1.5.0.1).

If you don't mind the security vulnerabilities specified, then
comment out the forbidden tag from the makefile.

Well I decided to install linux-flashplugin7 and I followed the
instructions inside linuxpluginwrapper (install a patch) and I got an
error:

Talk to the maintainer.

That patch installed fine on my i386/6.0 SECURITY box. I think his is 5.4. Maybe there's something different about the rtld.c file on that distro
