java with mozilla
I'm having some problems with java in mozilla. I downloaded the j2re-1.4.1 libraries, installed them and then made a simlink to mozilla plugins
ln -s /usr/src/j2re-1.4.1/plugins/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3/plugins/javaplugin_oji.so chgrp -R 100 javaplugin_oji.so (in the mozilla plugin dir) About: Plugins shows the java library, but if I go to use something that required java, I get that little puzzle piece. |

Did you read the section under Linux? See if that has anything to do with it. |
that's a weird directory to have java in
mine is in /usr/java/j2re-1.4.1_01/.... |
How did you untar the bin file?:rolleyes:
|
huh? You don't untar bin files, you run them:
chmod +x filename.bin ./filename.bin Cool |
I would strongly recommend this site:
http://mozilla.weebeastie.net/java.shtml I used this site to install java and it's plugins for mozilla, it's a very good tutorial, and if you follow it step by step, you'll have java and all it's components working in no time with mozilla. I have used it on redhat 8 and 9. And I did just as he said, and DID NOT use the rpms from sun, but instead I downloaded the "linux self-extracting binary". And everything works like a charm now... I know for sure that java applets and java-vm work like a charm, because I have used them personally. Hope this helps, Zak |
hmm, very very odd.
I deleted the symlink in my mozilla plugins dir, did a chmod described in the website provided to the above. Created a New symlink from my source dir to the mozilla plugin dir, did a chmod 777 javaplugin_oji.so and it works now. |
