My guess--and it's only a guess--is that you downloaded the Windows
version of the flash plugin. Zip is usually used by Windows. Linux
uses .rpm, .tar.gz, and a few others, but rarely just plain ol' .zip.
Zip is used for some Linux stuff, besides which the OP says he extracted
a .so file, so it is for Linux.
