can't find java library to install plugin

itr1275 · 01-06-2007, 10:07 AM

I downloaded and sucessfully "installed" the java 1.5 plugin, although I have my doubts. However when I attempt to enable configure firfox I can't find the "ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so" library. The ns directory does not exist?

I'm stuck at step # 2

Code:

[root@localhost i386]# pwd
/usr/java/jre1.5.0_10/lib/i386
[root@localhost i386]# ls -a
.             libdt_socket.so              libjava.so          libnet.so

[root@localhost i386]#

Did I miss a step?

Go to /usr/java/jre1.5.0_10. There's a directory in there called plugin, which you should be in rather than in lib.

I see it now. I see my error when I re-read the directions. RTFM - doh!

Thanks!
