Why not download deb package from packages.debian.org and then extract with command dpkg?
I had the same problem with Debian lenny amd64 and FMS3.5.
Still ldd was complaining missing libnspr4.so and
other libs…from the lib32 package.

I proceeded in this way

I downloaded http://packages.debian.org/stable/libnspr4-0d for i386 arch and the extracted with :
dpkg --extract libnspr4-0d_4.7.1-4_i386.deb /tmp/

Then you’ll find in /tmp/usr/lib/ what you need…

FMS-SERVER:/tmp/usr/lib# ls
libnspr4.so libplc4.so libplds4.so
libnspr4.so.0d libplc4.so.0d libplds4.so.0d

Copy
I then copied the libs from /tmp/usr/lib back to the /lib32/

This should fix all the missing library problems!

OK I figured it out as far as installing FMS 3.5 on Debian 4.0 64bit (AMD 64).

I had to use rpmfind to find this rpm package

nspr-4.7.3-1.fc10.i386.rpm

I used this to extract the rpm: rpm2cpio package.rpm | cpio -dimv

Then I copied the library files in the LIB directory of extracted RPM to the /lib32 directory

NOW FMS 3.5 STARTS!

Now the fmsadmin will not run! Even after restarting it. Please tell me how to fix fmsadmin…I can’t administrate the server.

I am trying to install FMS 3.5 on Debian 4.0 64 bit (AMD 64). Has anyone successfully done this with or without these patches? I am about to give up and go back to Debian 32 bit OS. Most of the problem is that my apt-get wants to download 64 bit versions of libraries which is not compatible with FMS..specifically the netscape runtime libraries.

If anyone can tell me the steps to install FMS 3.5 on a Debian 4.0 AMD 64 bit box please let me know. I’ve googled this to death!

We have problem only FMS3, FMS2 works correctly.
Why not does it the FMS3?

We have an one big problem. We use FMS with Debian Etch and sometimes the processor load approaching the 100%. Why? Have same problem to anybody?

Excuse me, but my English is quite wrong.

If anyone else shows up here trying to figure out one of the fmsini issues

ERROR: You are running the Adobe Flash Media Server installer
on the wrong platform.

FMS does not run on ppc machines.

In case someone still had problem with libraries in hardy, in /opt/adobe/fms do:
ldd fmsmaster

for example if there is no libplc4.so, find rpm package in rpmfind, download it, and:
rpm2cpio package.rpm | cpio -dimv

it will unpack it into current directory. Copy required libs to /lib32.
It worked for me only after this.

Great Tut. I really appreciate it! Working on a free videoconferencing app for my site, Labspaces.net.

Also made the p”L” vs p”one” mistake. It’s patch p”one”. I’m a noob.

On my system it was not needed to install libnspr4-dev; libnspr4-0d was enough (by the way, for Debian people, that last package does at the moment not provide the appropriate links, so you have to make the links in /usr/lib/ yourself)

# install dependencies
sudo apt-get install libnspr4-0d

Debian only:
cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s libnspr4.so.0d libnspr4.so
sudo ln -s libplc4.so.0d libplc4.so
sudo ln -s libplds4.so.0d libplds4.so

It is removing so much, but that i tried installing libnspr-dev which installed without any removals.
Will this package be enough ??

@csy : eventhough I use ln -s on the dependency, ldd still state that the library doesn’t exist. Is there any way to refresh this ?

BTW, are you sure that RTMPT works for you ?
