Realplay and Java Plugins for Mozilla Firefox/?

you can get the java runtime environment here, the bin file is about 15mb

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

once you have downloaded the file you need to change it to be executable by opening a terminal and:

cd /path-to-bin-file

chmod a+x /path-to-bin-file/jre1_5_0.bin

./jre1_5_0.bin

this should install the jre plugin to make it work with firefox you need to still be in terminal and:

cd /path-to/firefox/plugins

once you're in the plugins directory you need to create a link to the jre plugin which is called libjavaplugin_oji.so you do this by typing:

ln -s /path/to/plugin/libjavaplugin_oji.so

once thats done you should double check in Firefox edit > preferences that the enable java checkbox has been checked and that should be you.

RealPlayer can be downloaded at http://www.real.com/linux/


This is my first time at replying to a query and i would like to know if it helped you out, also to you guru's out there have i explained this correctly?

But which .../Realplay/plugins/*.so to symbollink?
Thank you?

Create a symlink to .../RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so in your Firefox plugins directory. Also, you need to copy .../RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.xpt into your Firefox/components directory. In my case:

$ ln -s /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so ~/Firefox/plugins
$ cp /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.xpt ~/Firefox/components

Hope this helps,
