   Hello,

   I found http://people.kernelcode.com/cwarner/2007/05/16/64-bit-flash-for-firefox-using-swfdec/. It describes a way to get flash working on Firefox 64 bit. Till “sudo ./autogen.sh –prefix=/usr; make -j4; make install” everthing worked out fine. But then I get an error: “./autogen.sh: 3: autoreconf: not found”.

   What to do?

   Greetz, Peter

   Ahh….. something that just about works.

   dasgoat@dasgoat-laptop:~$ http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/download/swfdec-mozilla/0.4/swfdec-mozilla-0.4.4.tar.gz tar -xvzf swfdec-mozilla.0.4.4.tar.gz
   bash: http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/download/swfdec-mozilla/0.4/swfdec-mozilla-0.4.4.tar.gz: No such file or directory

   Could you maybe put some returns in your post so I know where the commnd ends? I’m a noob and just don’t get it all.

   I get the following message…

   ./autogen.sh: 3: autoreconf: not found
   make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
   make: *** No rule to make target `install’. Stop.

   after

   sudo ./autogen.sh –prefix=/usr; make -j4; make install

   What am I doing wrong?

   Thanks!

   Ok, I found the last error. A typo in the pasted command some where. entered it manually and it seemed like it worked. Now my problem is:

   can’t exec “aclocal”? Isn’t the file right there in the ls?

   sudo apt-get install automake and now that i’m thinking about it sudo apt-get install gcc and sudo apt-get install g++

   I’ll update the above
