I downloaded the RPM from http://macromedia.mplug.org/ and have had no
problems with it on Mandrake 9.1. Try removing your existing package
(probably: rpm -e flash-plugin) and reinstalling.

In case it helps to make things clearer, the library for the plugin goes
to: /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so

and a symbolic links gets created for Mozilla:
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.3.1/plugins/libflashplayer.so

You can check that you have a relevant symbolic link.

Hope that helps.
