i downloaded and installed java runtime environment 1.4 etc.

when i try to view certain sites, it wants me to down load and install java plugin 1.3 for linux.

if i try to install it, i get an error and it says to goto netscape.com and download the driver. if i click the link, it's dead. this is the error...

Java 2 Plug-in for Linux: Download was unsuccessful. Please try again. The Java Plug-in is 7.6Mb and will take you 37 minutes to fully download with a 28.8 modem or 19 minutes with a 56K modem. Alternatively, you can download this plug-in directly from our FTP site at ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape6...jre131_02i.xpi for Windows. Please e-mail ftp-plugins@netscape.com if you continue to have problems. Error encountered -- -202

Have you installed the jre plugin?

You need to have made a symbolic link thus:

Code:

ln -s /usr/lib/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

For mozilla. If you are using firefox, you will need to make the link in the firefox plugins directory instead of the mozilla plugins directory

I hope this helps
