Linux and my G3 mac don't seem to get along. I have no java plugin for either Konquerer or Mozilla. It took me awhile to find java for ppc(whic I finally found here: http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/...tatus.html#ppc). I followed the installation instructions, which seemed to work fine, but my browsers still throw up the "no java executable found" error when I load a page. The files I installed are located in my /usr/local directory.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

You probably need to set your $PATH variable to reflect the locations of your java bin's. I am running Gentoo on an iBook and had the same deal. For example, (I am not near the iBook right now), on my desktop my path is:

scruff@genbox scruff $ echo $PATH
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.3:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/bin:/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/bin:
/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/kde/3.2/bin

There are different locations your path might be set, but generally it goes like this: for a global setting /etc/profile, for user defined settings, ~/bashrc or ~/bashprofile. Take a look at these files and you should see something like "export PATH="/insert/path/locations/here"

Alter them to suit your java locations

Also, check your window manager (KDE, Fluxbox, etc) settings to be sure the MIME types are set correctly.

Well! I do appreciate the help. I'm not sure what a "MIME" is, but I checked out the configuration settings on my KDE and Konquerer. (I use Mandrake 9.1 for ppc, so it's highly GUI oriented.) I found a box to designate a path for my JAVA client, which I set to the 'java' file in JDK1.2.2/bin.
However, when I tested it, it simply said the JAVA appelet was loading, but never actually loaded. Beneath the Path box I referred to above, there's another box titled "Additional Java arguments". I noticed two path names to Java in your example. Am I supposed to use this box for another path?
I apologize, but I installed Linux very recently and the ins and outs are still a little mysterious to me. I appreciate the help.

No need to apologize! Thats why this site exists. I found what looks to be a good tutorial on getting konqueror and mozilla to work with java that might help you get through it. There isn't much to it, but a few things you need to check over.

Have a look at it here and just come on back if you need more help.
