With Centos 5.5 x86_64 you get this:

[root@test ~]# Adobe\ AIR\ Application\ Installer
Error loading the runtime (/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7′ not found (required by /opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources/libcurl.so))

Hi again russ,

If you got all the following packages installed:

yum install ld-linux.so.2 gtk2-devel.i686 libdbus-glib-1.so.2 \
libhal.so.1 rpm-devel.i686 libXt.so.6 gnome-keyring-devel.i686 \
libDCOP.so.4 libxml2-devel.i686 nss-devel.i686 libxslt.i686 xterm

Then it succeed!

And then you can continue the installation normally.

Hi JR, thanks for the reply.

Following the directions to “Install Fedora 12″ worked; the packages installed. When I entered the bash again (this time for “Install Fedora 13″ instructions) it returned that the packages were already installed and “Nothing to do”. I was expecting it to do something since the directions said to enter it again. I assumed that it failed. Was I wrong, did it succeed?

I attempted the “If packages do not install…” instructions, but get the message, “-bash: [updates-f13-i386] command not found”

Any thoughts?

Hi russ,

Yes, they are the same, but you should take into account the point If These packages do Not install, then try the following:. Did you try it?

Or what is your problem?

Am I going crazy or are the code instructions for to “Install Fedora 12…” and “Install Fedora 13…” identical? Are they supposed to be?

Hi Carl Martin,

Nice to hear that you get it working. :)

I believe that the Adobe Air 2.0 is in many case a better choice than the Adobe Air 1.5.

Hi El1iP3S01D, I updated this guide to work also with Fedora 13 - x86_64 and I get Adobe AIR 2 RC and TweetDeck (as example) easily work with Fedora 13 - x86_64. If you can't get it working, please post more specific information about the errors and problems here?

Thanks for a very informative article. I first attempted to install Air 1.5, but ran into the problem with the Air-installer requesting gnome-keyring or kwallet. I couldn’t find a proper workaround for this – so eventually I opted to try Air 2.0 BETA. It worked immediately on my Fedora 13 system!

Hi. Thanks for the help. All things are working.

I used some of your articles in posting a guide to getting Fedora 12 working for Dell Studio XPS 16.

Nice to hear that you get Adobe AIR and TweetDeck working… ;)

Then the abrt problem, please post output what following command shows:

yum info rpm-libs

Oh, yeah. I encountered another problem. When I try to install abrt I get this error messsage again:

–> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: abrt-1.0.8-2.fc12.x86_64 (updates)
Requires: librpmio.so.0()(64bit)
Available: rpm-libs-4.7.1-6.fc12.x86_64 (fedora)
Available: rpm-libs-4.7.2-1.fc12.x86_64 (updates)

You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest

Aside from that. Everything works great.

Woohoo!!! It worked.

Am now a happy laptop owner using Fedora 12 64bit with Adobe Air and Tweedeck.

Thanks a heap, man!

One possible workaround is simply remove abrt (Automatic Bug Reporting Tool) package and try again.

yum remove abrt

You can install abrt back (later), simply with following command:

yum install abrt

Missing libnss3.so indicates that nss-devel.i686 packages is missing. You can’t get Adobe AIR 1.5 or 2.0 probably working properly if some of following packages are not installed successfully:

yum install ld-linux.so.2 gtk2-devel.i686 libdbus-glib-1.so.2 \
libhal.so.1 rpm-devel.i686 libXt.so.6 gnome-keyring-devel.i686 \
libDCOP.so.4 libxml2-devel.i686 nss-devel.i686 libxslt.i686 xterm
