Java plugin Symlink not working?
 

I downloaded the java self-extracting file from java[dot]com . I made a syms link or whatever (ls -s) to ./plugin/i386/ns60-gc33/libjavaplugin_oji.so

I made it in the mozilla plugin folder. That is correct, and I thought that was all I had to do, I read some posts here on it.

[Tried to post links to the theads, but it won't allow when I have <5 posts]

:study: :newbie: :study:

Running Mandrake 9.2, Mozilla and Galeon browsers.

well this seems odd to me -> ns60-gc33

i would've thunk it was ns610-gcc32 . also where did you extract this java plugin file (which directory)? could you post the file path of where the java plugin is installed at?

oops. would have given more, but I was sleepwalking.

I downloaded the file to /usr/java where it created a new folder for it. The full path for the java link is:

/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so

I also tried linking the libjavaplugin_oji.so from i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so (I did that first.

i did all this in the Mozilla plugins folder.

ln -s

Note to self: ALWAYS DOUBLE-CHECK SYNTAX!

Thanks a lot, that works.
