Gentlemen, thank you for responding.

I have just now tried both suggested solutions, and yet Adobe's own
"checker" page (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html) is _still_
telling me that I do not not have flash installed.  So I need to
"debug" this problem further.  Obviously, _something_ is either missing
or mis-instaled _somewhere_ but where?

Apparently, I do have a the following directories:

   ~/.adobe
   ~/.adobe/Flash_Player

but underneath the latter, there is only another sub-directory named
"AssetCache".

Bottom line question:  Where are the files supposed to be, you know,
when flahs player is installed correctly for a given user account?
