Most strange. It works in my gentoo system

~% uname --all
Linux localhost 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 #1 Thu Apr 13 19:16:40 PDT 2006 i686 Celeron (Mendocino) GNU/Linux

A snippet of Opera's --debuplugin output.

opera: [plugin path ] #001: /usr/local/lib/opera/plugins
opera: [plugin path ] #002: /home/me/.opera/realplugin
opera: [plugin path ] #003: /home/me/.opera/gxineplugin
opera: [plugin path ] #004: /home/me/.opera/mplayerplugin
opera: [plugin path ] #005: /home/me/.opera/flashplugin

~% ls -al ~/.opera/flashplugin/
total 2
drwxr-x--x 2 me users 88 Apr 1 17:38 .
drwx--x--x 22 me users 1784 Aug 22 16:02 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 me users 39 Apr 1 17:38 libflashplayer.so -> /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so

I tend to be a control freak -- I have separate directories in
~/.opera/ that only point to one (1) plugin. Makes it easier to
disable individual plugins.

I using 9.01-20060728.1 -- the static version of Opera and the current
version of flash.

~% emerge -pv netscape-flash

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] net-www/netscape-flash-7.0.63 0 kB

Most strange. One of the guys on the Gentoo forums reported (and
issued a bug-report against Opera) the netscape problem i.e. if
netscape is in the flash path, flash doesn't work.

I'm identifying as Mozilla. (F12 output).
