This is what I show:

    File: libflashplayer.so
    Version:
    Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202

MIME Type 	Description 	Suffixes
application/x-shockwave-flash 	Shockwave Flash 	swf
application/futuresplash 	FutureSplash Player 	spl

Not quite sure what this means, though.  It shows 11.2 as well as
libflashplayer.so.  What do I need to do?

Thanks
