Dunno about doing it that way, mine was installed using this method.
Worked like a champ:

I created a "/etc/yum.repos.d/macromedia-i386.repo" file, with this
inside it:

[macromedia]
name=Macromedia for i386 Linux
baseurl=http://macromedia.rediris.es/rpm/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://macromedia.mplug.org/FEDORA-GPG-KEY

Then I did the following as a command line:
yum install flash-plugin

And that was all I had to do.

See <http://macromedia.rediris.es/> for information.  They're authorised
to provide Adobe Macromedia Flash for Fedora.  Try the appropriate
mirror link near the top.  The next page has more information, including
a FAQ page.

[tim@bigblack ~]$ rm -rfd /*^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Huname -ipr
2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 i686 i386

Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.  Today, it's FC7.

I read messages from the public lists.
