Can't get shockwave viewer to install in FC3

[Kim Lux]

Thanks for the link to the flashviewer rpm.

It installed fine, ie without errors on my FC3, but doesn't install
flash for konqueror.  Firefox used flash fine. 

rpm returns this (plus messages about NOID !)

Registering flashplayer as a XPCOM component in
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.3

Registering flashplayer as a XPCOM component in
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0
Setup is complete.
