Nope, I was using a 64bit .so file, downloaded from adobe's site. It
was 10.something but it worked fine.

Actually, the one I downloaded from adobe was a slightly higher
version than the one from extras. I had hoped they fixed the problem,
but didn't happen. It didn't occur to me to try the one from AUR, but
it's the same version I downloaded manually.
