Hi,
  I guess the plugin directory will be `$(HOME)/.gnuzilla/plugins' so
  the '--plugin-dir' option will need to be passed to the compiler. I
  also see:
  http://wiki.gnashdev.org/wiki/index.php/Building_on_Debian
  Be sure and read the last line on above link as it says it is
  broken. I tried to build about a month ago in debian etch and
  the depends required libs from testing and I am on stable. Just
  for the record mplayer and xine (ffmpeg) can play FLV formats
  provided the file's address can be found. Would it be smart to
  use the same .xpi on ftp or http  that gnash-dev uses, since it
  is an official gnu project ? Perhaps help them get a plugin in place?
  Do they even have a binary for gnu/linux yet on their webpage ?

Cheers,
