java and fedora core 7

paul62 · 09-27-2007, 11:18 AM

I am having trouble configuring java in my fedora core 7 I have downloaded and installed 1jre-6u2-linux-i586-rpm.bin, and it seems to have installed.
I am using firefox version 2.0.0.. And konqueror 3.5.7.fc7. I would appreciate the help.

Did you check the java installation manual?
if not this is the link:
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#rpm

you will find how to enable java [Enable and Configure] near the bottom of the page

I hope this is helpful enough

I tried the tips in the manual and this is what I am getting.

[root@localhost plugins]# In -s /usr/java/jre-6u2-linux-i586.rpm/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
bash: In: command not found
I would appreciate the help

Happy Birthday paul62 and many happy returns

First I think you should know that linux commands are case sensitive for example dir is not equal to DIR or even Dir

about the command
This command is ln (l for long or launch) not in

given that you only have this error in this command then copy and paste the following line:

ln -s /usr/java/jre-6u2-linux-i586.rpm/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

I think it should work after that

I tried it this way and the command worked, but now I need to be able to find the path to the executable for konqueror, and how do I register with firefox? I appreciate the help.

This command is totally wrong. It seems that those instructions confused you. Take a look here.

paul62 · 09-30-2007, 07:24 PM

I have tried all of those instruction, not gotten any error messages and it still does work,when I click on tools>java console ,I am getting the message. "The java support in the browser has vbeen disable". How could I correct this?

When you type about

lugins in Firefox can you see the jre plugin among others?

I read in mozilla forums that there is a problem with java onsole. Take a look here on how to fix it.

No I cannot see jre,

I couldn't get to the guides that were referenced (timed out), so try this:

make sure the rpm is actually installed:

Code:

rpm -Uvh jre-6u2-linux-i586.rpm

verify the location of the plugin:

Code:

rpm -ql jre | grep libjavaplugin_oji

link the plugin file to the default mozilla plugins directory. (For Fedora 7, do not use the path that has gcc29 in it)

Code:

ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so  /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

(you should have seen this path/filename when you verified the location of the plugin)

And remember, the "ln" command is lowercase LN...

I am still having trouble, I have tried all of the commands.

paul62 · 10-02-2007, 09:40 PM

The rpm is installed and I verified the path but no luck.
