javavm doesn't work
 

Ok i just got linux yesterday and installed java.
Now I installed Java 2 RE and is that supposed to have VM cause some Java things work others don't(VM)
How do i get VM to work? or do i need to Download it????
please help :cry:

please help im desprate...
i have mozilla if that helps

ok i see a java_vm in /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/bin.... how do i make it work ?????

my bad i get a puzzle piece shape and it said i need x-java-vm....didn't notice the x
where do i get that or do i have to make it?

The java plugin question :)


open a command line a cnage into your mozilla plugin directory

e.g

cd /usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/plugins (or whatever/wherever it is)

do

ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin.so (this path may be different as I use the sdk)

Point is - you want to cd into your mozilla plugins directory and make a link, ln -s, to the file libjavaplugin.so wherever it may be on your system


PS. It is an applet in your browser you're trying to run, yeah?

it still doesnt work , i have parts of java working
like ok when you go to the java web and check for your VM all i see is a puzzle piece and it says im missing "application/x- java- vm"

If you open mozill and under the help menu -> about plugins and there is no mention of java at all then the plugin isn't installed properly or it's the libjavaplugin_oji.so (I said libjavaplugin.so wrongly before) in the other directory called ns610 you have to make a link to.

For the vm, you'll have to add your path to java to your .bashrc file. Hit the search button below my post. The answers to both questions are there.

Looking Lost thank you so much!
