Swiftfox and Java on 64-bit install

Jongi · 02-17-2008, 12:45 AM

Hi.

If firefox is already working wrt java and flash, should it be a simple matter of loading up swiftfox and away I go?

I ask because I seem to be having problems with java related sites.

When using http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml in FF, I can see the little fella dancing. However in Swiftfox nothing.

Below is my ~/.mozilla/plugins directory

Code:

[jongi:~#] ls -la ~/.mozilla/

This is all on Fedora 8 x86_64 using swiftfox v2.0.0.13pre. I'm using icedtea Java btw.

So after some time, it struck me. Why not load it up from the console and see if any error messages appear. Sure as Bob there we have them:

Ha. Figured this mother out.

Went to this site

Downloaded the Linux self-extracting file under Linux Platform - Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 to my home directory

As root I then did,

Code:

# cd /opt
# cp /home/<user>/jre-6-linux-i586.bin .
# chmod +x jre-6-linux-i586.bin
# ./jre-6-linux-i586.bin
# cd /home/<user>/.mozilla/plugins (you might not have this folder so you you might need to create it
# ln -s /opt/jre1.6.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so

And that is how I got Java to work in Swiftfox under x86_64.

Thanks Jongi for taking the time to post your solution. I just did this today, it's great to have Java working(:
