in /usr/java/.../i386/ns4 & ns600 directory and my mozilla1.0.1
plugin directory is in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.1/plugin
directory. i want to configure the mozilla browser with the j2re plugin. how can i create the symbolic link file and which files to link whether i use ns4 or ns600 directory. could u please inform the command and other steps for running java applets. and also specify which command i can use for uninstall the j2re.

To make a symbolic link, use the following syntax:

Code:

ln -s path_to_the_file_you_want_linked

If you want Java in Mozilla, you will have to use the plugin in the ns600 directory.

If the j2re was installed using RPM, you can using any RPM management GUI tool.
Or you can uninstall RPMs at the command line using:

Code:

rpm -e package_name

#mkdir -p /usr/java
#cp j2re-1_3_1_08-linux-i586.bin /usr/java
#cd /usr/java
#chmod 700 j2re-1_3_1_08-linux-i586.bin
#./j2re-1_3_1_08-linux-i586.bin
# ln -s /usr/java/jre1.3.1_08/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3/plugins/

This is what I've done and it works perfectly, bye
