"Segmentation faults" and "could not locate so-and-so library or plugin" ...

[Albretch Mueller <lbrtchx@gmail.com>]

I am trying to install an application (huludesktop), but I either get
a "Segmentation fault" or "Hulu Desktop could not locate the Flash
plugin" message.

You may easily spot the mistake or have suggestions based on the steps
I followed or you could let me know about either how to troubleshoot
that error in more detail or debug it

thanks
