problem installing java plugin - Mozilla firefox
Well this really should be a simple job, but for some reason it's not working on my machine:
I have Slackware 10.0 and Firefox 0.9.1 version: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1 I have the java jre extracted and the NS610 plugin symlinked into the firefox plugins directory as below: Code:
root@feodor:/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins# ls -al libjavaplugin_oji.so However, I can't play any applets and I always get a blank missing-plugin-jigsaw-piece siymbol when I attempt to view an applet. So what goes? christo |
The plot thickens... I just tested it as root and everything was fine. I have chmod 777 the plugins directories just to be sure.
perhaps this is something to do with the ~/.mozilla/plugins/ directory... biab christo |
heh - well that was it.
you have to link in the plugins on a per-user basis. I fixed it with: chris@feodor:~/.mozilla/plugins$ ln -s /usr/local/j2re1.4.2_05/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so christo |
