someday, if you're ever up my way, I gotta buy you a beer or two...

ehdwuld · 10-05-2003, 04:14 AM

leave that

su to root
ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so

ehdwuld · 10-05-2003, 04:19 AM

now we see what happened

/usr/lib/mozilla
should be a symbolic link to
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.2.1
but I think it points somewhere else

we can fix that some other time

Anth3m · 10-05-2003, 04:22 AM

ok, all done. Let's see if it works....

[root@localhost plugins]# cd /usr/lib/mozilla-1.2.1/plugins
[root@localhost plugins]# ls
libjavaplugin_oji.so libnullplugin.so
[root@localhost plugins]# rm libjavaplugin_oji.so
rm: remove symbolic link `libjavaplugin_oji.so'? yes
[root@localhost plugins]# ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[root@localhost plugins]#

RealPlayer8-plugin-8.0.3.412-6.i386.rpm

go to google
search for the above
save it to a new folder

$ su
< password >
# rpm -Uvh RealPlayer8-plugin-8.0.3.412-6.i386.rpm

this will result in a file called " rpnp.so " in your current directory
# ls will let you see it
# cp rpnp.so /usr/lib/mozilla-1.2.1/plugins

and you got realplayer in mozilla

What's a "symbolic link" btw? I've heard (read) quite a few references to itin these forums... No idea what it's about...

ehdwuld · 10-05-2003, 04:29 AM

well I'll be darned

java still not working?

it should be
what site are you testing it on?

http://www.bellsouth.net/

try here

little box on right hand side should be gray for a bit
you'll see the coffee cup come up and then she'll show something

ehdwuld · 10-05-2003, 04:31 AM

symbolic link is like
hmmm
the fellow at the airport that tells you where the terminal is

its just a "place holder" that points to another file

ehdwuld · 10-05-2003, 04:33 AM

your desktop Icons are btw symlinks

if you remove one the program doesnt disappear
just the link on the desktop does

unless you've moved the program to the desktop
which you can do on linux but thats not really a good idea

Anth3m · 10-05-2003, 04:33 AM

Everything on that page seems to be working just fine...

I WAS testing on Yahoo.com, because their games are all Java. Like literati and what not. My wife and I like to play scrabble between the two PC's all the time, and I know I need java for that so that's where I was testing.

Don't tell me it's a different type of Java??

I tried using this Java test. No dice.

It just shows a little puzzle piece.

ehdwuld · 10-05-2003, 04:43 AM

same procedure

Well, good sir, I'm going to resume work on this tomorrow. It's almost 4 am here, and I'm waxed. I'm so tired I'm having a real hard time concentrating.

I'll look for you on here again tomorrow nite, hopefully I can find ya. if you have ICQ, PM your # and I'll find ya that way. If not, you can PM an e-mail addy.

Thanks for your two hours, even if we couldn't get java working, I learned more from you in the last two hours that I learned from reading in the last 3 days. Can't say thanks enough.

Signing off;
