bad java link to firefox
I have a plugin link to an older version of Firefox that I think I need to remove. I made a new link from the new version of Firefox to my Java Runtime Enviroment, but it no worky. Thank you in advance for any light you can shed on this.

So you made a link to the jre in the Firefox plugins directory:
Code:
ln -s /path/to/j2re/plugin/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /path/to/firefox/plugins --Ian |
I did this . . .
ln -s /home/cheryl/java/jre1.5.0_04/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplgin_oji.so from the Firefox plugin directory. |
What is the output of "ls -l" in the Firefox plugins directory?
Does the plugin show up in "about:plugins" in Firefox itself? --Ian |
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0.7/plugins/libjavaplgin_oji.so
This was not in plugins folder before I followed above commands. I also see the same here . . /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/plugins/libjavaplgin_oji.so from the 1st time I tried to make the link. |
I think that you may be linking to the wrong file: The link seems to be pointing to the firefox plugins directory, rather than the actual jave plugin.
Otherwise, the output of ls -l should look something like this: Code:
ls -l /usr/lib/firefox/plugins I hope this helps --Ian |
I tried to reverse the above command and I get the message file exsist. How can I delete bad link and start again ?

Just delete it using rm. You will need to be root.
What do you mean by "reverse the above command". --Ian |
It looks like you need a destination for the ln command. Try:
Code:
ln -s /home/cheryl/java/jre1.5.0_04/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplgin_oji.so . |
