I think Adobe build version 9 flash with gcc under /usr/sfw. If you're like me 
and don't use gcc that is shipped with Solaris, flash doesn't work, coz it 
depends on that particular gcc's libraries.

I'm not 100% certain of this, but I think this is what I found out when I 
tried downloading latest flash from Adobe website and then spent ages 
figuring out why it didn't work. I couldn't believe somebody at Adobe was so 
retarted to do that.
