I am new to linux (installed Ubuntu 9.10 two days to get flash player 10. So I went to the flash site and downloaded the .deb file for flash. When I run this file I get this message.
Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libnspr4-devI have tryed using terminal to fix this using suggestions on your forums with no luck. Examples:

I have the same problem, can't install flash. I did manually install the first dependency for libnspr4-dev, but then a second one for libnss3-dev says it doesn't exist?? Totally lost. Would love to be able to see flash under Linux.

Thanks but it didn't help =[ could it be caused by installing 9.10 on a oldish laptop??

Ok I just fixed it by playing with random settings =/ I wish I new what I did. It might have to do with using my partners internet.

Hmm... you know my issues are running on an 'oldish' laptop as well. I've got other issues like trying to install software and Ubuntu telling me that the software in question is not available for my architecture?? Maybe I'll try SUSE. ;-)
