Java installed, but not working...


Hi,

I'm trying to use Java because I want to give ip-relay.com a try. It says that I'm missing the Java plugin, so I go to install it (via Firefox), but it says it's "Not Available." When I attempt to install it via Yum, it says that the package is already installed. When I check to see if it is in fact installed by going to aboutlugins, it doesn't show it. It only shows Flash.

I'm following the guide here: http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/...1/26/1/5/#java It makes it seem really easy and it doesn't appear that I'm missing a step or anything. I'm not sure what's going on.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Brandon

You have to make soft links in the firefox plugins directory to the java plugins.

Code:
$ sudo ln -s ./jre1.6.0_03/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
$ sudo ln -s /opt/jre1.6.0_03/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Just like it instructed you to there...except, put the links in ~/.mozilla/plugins

See if that gets you any closer.

Thanks Wildcat. This appears to be exactly what I need. Do that when I get home.

Regards,

Brandon

edit: I'm an ass. I would've read that had I scrolled down a little further. It said that if it showed up in aboutlugins it works. I assumed since it didn't, it didn't work and what was below had NOTHING to do with Java.

Thanks again.
