Ok I'm using version 1.3 in Mandrake 9.1 several things have happened, I installed the most recent Java package and everything is ok except, now my Mozilla mail window won't retrieve my mail it worked fine before Java and I also made sure that the allow java boxes for mail/newsgroups were marked. I fiqure I have to add the link script for this to work if so someone please verify this. Also before I installed java I was using Galeon and one day I opened Mozilla at the same time and Galeon crashed never to return again. it can't rebuild itself and if I run it my system just freezes and eventualy restarts, I have read somewhere (I can't remember where) that there is a known incompatability with Mozilla and Galeon is this true?? Also I cannot upload using a radio button on sites. I am a musician and I do a lot of uploading to my websites some of them have radio buttons to click to browse my system, I cannot get Mozilla to do anything when I click these browse buttons, any suggestions??
Java™ Plug-in: Version 1.4.2_01
Using JRE version 1.4.2_01 Java HotSpot™ Client VM
User home directory = /home/johnnygnote
Proxy Configuration: Browser Proxy Configuration
I am not running a proxy but a simple dialup could this be causing problems? And I am running Firestarter
There are some error's noted on my Java console but they are lengthy, if someone would look at them I will post them.
Which version of the libjavaplugin_oji.so did you symbolically link to? The one compiled with gcc3.2 or the other one? I think Mozilla 1.3 needs the non gcc3.2 one, ie, the one in j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
I used J2re1.4.2 and that's what I was saying is that I haven't written a link. I'm not sure what directory to write it in. I have the syntax just not sure where to put it. For all practical purposes the VM is running I ran the online test in both Mozilla and Konqueror and it checked out.
You can make the symbolic link in two places, /path/to/mozilla/plugins, which is good if you want to make the plugin available globaly, for all users but it can be a little buggy (on Red Hat systems, for some reason) and if you delete mozilla to upgrade to a newer build it's annoying to have to remember to backup the plugins folder. So I prefer to put the plugins in the .mozilla profile folder underneath your home directory. If you haven't already made a plugins folder in your profile,
mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins
then cd into it
cd ~/.mozilla/plugins
and make a symbolic link to libjavaplugin_oji.so
ln -s /path/to/java/j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
If you decide to install it in the mozilla plugins it would be
su root
cd /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3/plugins
ln -s /path/to/java/j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
What happened to your old version of Java when you installed the new one? If it's still on you system you may be getting conslicts between the two. If you try to remove it with grpmi it might want to remove anything that has anything to do with Java as well so it may be simplest to just delete /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01.
Thanks, this is a first time upload of Java. There is no older version, this is a new install of Mandrake 9.1 so I downloaded java from the main site. Kongueror is working fine with it, but Mozilla obviously needs the symbolic link. I appreciate your help.
