Mozilla and Java
I have been looking around the boards for an anwser to this, and I can't find it, so I figured I would ask. (I preapologize if I missed a thread that covered this)
I am a windows geek, who was just turned into the world of linux. I have very little knowledge of Linux.
I am on Fedora Core 2 and I have the Mozilla 1.7.6 browser. I have downloaded and installed Java on my machine. I have followed all the coding that was required to install it, and I linked the Java install with the browser by using the command:
ln /usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
I restarted my mozilla browser (and my Linux box, to make sure), I went into the Edit -> Preferences tab ->Advance and Java enabled was checked. When I visit the Java site again to verify the install, It does not see the install. I am not getting any error messages throughout the entire install process.
(Reminder I have been operating Fedora for little more than a week, and this is probally somthing stupid that I forgot)\
Thanks,
Jim

Missed one option for the link command. Ths -s for symbolic softlink. That is what it needs to be not a hard link.
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

You have Mozilla 1.7.6 installed in a mozilla-1.6 directory tree? Also, please post the errors you're getting so we can see what's going on.
Peace...
