[SOLVED] nspluginwrapper error installing flashplugin

Question

Here is the error and I have tried fixing it using the WIKI and other posts here on the forum to no avail:
nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /usr/lib32/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
When I do nspluginwrapper -v -a -i :
Auto-install plugins from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
Looking for plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

EDIT: Fixed by removing the repository archstuff as it was installing a newer libbz2 which caused the error.  So now I have flash and Acrobat Reader installed. (If only I could find a acrobat reader version 8 install in english as 9 on removed the ability to extract images from PDF's).

I tried installing the 64bit flash from here :http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21601, using 'yaourt -S flashplugin-alpha-64 10.0.d20.7-3'
It will say:
Downloading 10.0.d20.7-3 PKGBUILD from AUR
Error: 10.0.d20.7-3 not found in AUR.
should be just "yaourt -S flashplugin-alpha-64" no version needed
the error is telling you it cant find 10.0.d20.7-3 which is not a package.  did you get another error with the first part? or did  you see it building the package?
i like building it by hand, so i usually (in a folder on my /home) i do
mkdir flashplugin-alpha-64
cd flashplugin-alpha-64
yaourt -G flashplugin-alpha-64 (to get pKGBUILD and other files)
makepkg  (to build)
then install with yaourt -U [full package filename]
makes me feel like i'm in control
