How to get flash working on Ubuntu

Have just got Ubuntu working on my gorgeous hp 2133, but flash totally refused to play on opera and firefox. Eventually I discovered that running ldd on the flash shared library /usr/lib/opera/plugins showed several dependencies not found:

ldd /usr/lib/opera/plugins/libflashplayer.so | grep not
libssl3.so => not found
libplds4.so => not found
libplc4.so => not found
libnspr4.so => not found
These libraries are there in /usr/lib but have slightly different names. Symbolically linking the ones that flash requires fixes the problem!

e.g. cd /usr/lib
