Hello to all,

I'm running RH 8.0 and I use Mozilla for a browser. I installed the Java Runtime Environment that I downloaded from the sun site. I have followed the installation instructions there. After installing the rpm is says to make a symbolic link from <jre>/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so to <mozilla>/plugins. In my i386 directory I have three directories named ns4, ns600 and ns610. What folder should I make the link to? My intuition tells me I should make it to the ns610 folder because it looks like some kind of update from ns600. If it is, what is ns4?

Another question: I've seen a lot of help on the net about this installation and many of them say that you have to 'add java to your path.' If I just have the Java Runtime Environment and not the SDK (ie: I won't be doing any programming), do I have to do that?

Thanks for the help.

ns4 is old netscape version 4.7ish, the ns6 is the new netscape based on the mozilla rendering engine.

just type 'java' at your user cli, if it presents you with a list of options and flags, then its already in your path

add the symlink in the /plugins dir. No in any subdirs or anything.
Just make sure that your original file has root:users permissions otherwise only root will be able to use java.
