Ahh, a miss-step ?
The installer for the SDK ? Or the AIR installer ? The AIR installer is 
just a .bin to run, so I assume you mean the Flex SDK installer - on 
Fedora you should be using the .rpm.
For some reason the .rpm version is missing, and there isn't a 
non-native .air version to install for you to use on Fedora.
I'll investigate this.

We can try to trouble shoot the converted .deb though.

Try 'rpm -ivh file.rpm' and post the complete output.

Ok, Tom, thanks for your help.
So I've installed Adobe AIR.

but next step failed :
- I've downloaded the installer that is a .deb file ==> I used alien to
convert it to rpm
but running rpm -i <theRPM> gives me back the hand immediatly and nothing
happens...

I'm on Fedora 19 64bit (gloups)

I am working on improving the experience for Linux users, but the basic 
idea is to make sure you have Adobe AIR itself installed, then click the 
large install icon on http://flex.apache.org/installer.html

The installer for AIR for Linux is
http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/latest/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

Please let me know if you needed to do anything other that just download 
this and run it, along with your Fedora version and if it's 32bit or not.

If you do have any issues, please let us have the details too - 
sometimes running the installer (as root) from the command line provides 
help full output.

The Apache Flex installer page contains a 'problems installing' link 
that has some hints for Ubuntu users that may be applicable in terms of 
library paths.
