Today I was asked to look into a machine where EM Express for 12cR2 wasn’t working. When I tried to run EME, I got the error,
Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash
I did have YUM in that machine installed. So I first tried with YUM INSTALL *FLASH* . But that failed with the result,
[root@host01 plugins]# yum install *flash*
Loaded plugins: langpacks, ulninfo
No package libflashplayer.so available.
Error: Nothing to do
Well, not really very encouraging. So then I downloaded the TAR version of the Flash player from the Adobe site and moved the plugin from the Downloads folder to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. That also didn’t work. Then I downloaded flash-player-npapi-32.0.0.330-release.x86_64.rpm and tried to install it with YUM. This was the result,
[root@host01 Downloads]# yum install flash-player-npapi-32.0.0.330-release.x86_64.rpm
Loaded plugins: langpacks, ulninfo
Examining flash-player-npapi-32.0.0.330-release.x86_64.rpm: flash-plugin-32.0.0.330-release.x86_64

And it just got stuck here. I cancelled the install and then installed it using the RPM command.
[root@host01 Downloads]rpm -ivh flash-player-npapi-32.0.0.330-release.x86_64.rpm
warning: flash-player-npapi-32.0.0.330-release.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID f6777c67: NOKEY

Finally success! EME was running!
So if you are stuck in the same loop, just download the RPM files for linux and install using RPM command.
Hope that helps.
