That produces |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
treat ~ # slocate libflashplayer.so |
| 25 |
/home/kevin/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so |
| 26 |
/home/kevin/LinuxTools/install_flash_player_6_linux/libflashplayer.so |
| 27 |
/home/kevin/.netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so |
| 28 |
/home/kevin/Plugins/install_flash_player_6_linux/libflashplayer.so |
| 29 |
/home/kevin/Gentoo/install_flash_player_7_linux/libflashplayer.so |
| 30 |
/u01/RH_HOMES/kevin/.netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so |
| 31 |
/u01/RH_HOMES/kevin/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so |
| 32 |
/u01/RH_HOMES/kevin/plugins/install_flash_player_6_linux/libflashplayer.so |
| 33 |
/u01/RH_HOMES/kevin/LinuxTools/install_flash_player_6_linux/libflashplayer.so |
| 34 |
/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so |
| 35 |
/oldroot/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so |
| 36 |
treat ~ # |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Some of these clearly have to do with old releases and distros. I should |
| 39 |
clean up |
| 40 |
my act. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
$ find / -name libflashplayer.so |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
This does somewhat the same: |
| 50 |
treat ~ # find / -name libflashplayer.so |
| 51 |
/home/kevin/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so |
| 52 |
/home/kevin/LinuxTools/install_flash_player_6_linux/libflashplayer.so |

/home/kevin/.netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so |
| 54 |
/home/kevin/Plugins/install_flash_player_6_linux/libflashplayer.so |

/home/kevin/Gentoo/install_flash_player_7_linux/libflashplayer.so |

Perhaps you loaded an old version from /home/user/.mozilla/plugins ? |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
I have no idea what the history is. I've been doing this for a long time, |
| 68 |
and don't |
| 69 |
keep records of everything that gets installed. |
