so, as the search function has no matches for x-java-vm, here is my problem:

i tried alls the icqpendants i found (gaim, licq, centericq, ...) but nothing worked... so i tried http://go.icq.com , but it asks for a plug-in from a type called "application/x-java-vm" and i don't know what to do... i installes sun java by following these instructions
but that didn't work either

does anyone know what i have to do?

do a search theres like 20 threads on the bull$hit with installing java most people can't get that java-vm plugin working right including myself...oh well ..i think i can , i think i can

yes but nothing is about this special stuff that icq2go wants

and i'm really only a little bit away from a break down because nothing works ^^ even if it should *g*

OK, I'm doing a little guessing here, but you probably need to set up your Java parameters correctly. Check out this
thread where I've explained how to set up the PATH and JAVA_HOME variables.

What you may have to do in addition to that is set up a link to Java plugin for each program that needs to use it. You'll have to read the documentation for those programs to find out what directory to put the link in , but the link itself is usually something like:

ln -s /path/to/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so

hm it's similar to what i did with one exception: i did not use the rpm package, but the self extracting file:

then i performed these commands in the terminal like instructed in Tuvok's post:

chmod a+x j2re-1.4.2_01-linux-i586.bin
./j2re-1.4.2_01-linux-i586.bin

i agreed to the lincence and then performed

ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/bin/java java

then i did something to get java work with mozilla:

ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /*/libjavaplugin_oji.so
( yes i replaced * with my mozilla plug-in path )

but icq2go still does not accept this java.. or do i have to do something else after this?

well i looked at this thread but i do not understand... i downlaoded java again as rpm, but ist also was a bin-file... i am really confused and do not know what to do now... i also do not understand this thing with the /etc/profile file... ist has entries i don't understand and i am afraid of killing this file by adding something frong at the wrong place... this is the third time i tried to get java working but it does not wand

please help me *dispaired*

OK, lets back up for a second here.

First, are you sure you installed java correctly? You should be able to find the java directory in your /usr directory, although it may bin in /usr/local if you installed from binary.

Second, in a console, type java -version. If you get anything that suggests the computer can't find java, then you need to set up your PATH and JAVA_HOME.

Third, if you don't feel comfortable messing with /etc/profile, you can create the same commands in your .bashrc file (you can create one if you don't have one, just be sure to have #!/bin/bash as your first line.

Lastly, what browser are you using? You need to find out where to put the plugin link for your browser.

1. yes, it is in /usr/java

2.

3. I'll have a look for it when I wake up today

lastly, I'm using Mozilla 1.2.1 and i already tried the commands like tuvok says in his thread to link to my plug-in dir, but i didn't work i think.

but like a wonder, my licq works now *g*
