Yahoo games or GSN with Mozilla??

lawadm1 · 07-03-2004, 06:40 PM

Has anyone been able to play yahoo games or gameshow network with Mozilla 1.6?

With Yahoo games, I get the message that I need applications/x-java-vm
- I downloaded and installed the j2eesdk-1_4-linux.bin, but it didn't make a difference

With Gameshow network, I get the message that I need applications/x-director

Any ideas or solutions?

Distro--> Fedora Core2

They do work, you just need to install the plugins.

The mozilla plugin FAQ has the answer to this on (so did google on a search for mozilla java plugin)

http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/java.html

As for the x-director, that's a Shockwave movie you're trying to look at.
I don't know of a Shockwave plugin for Linux (that's not to say there isn't one, try to google for it)

Thanks a million.

That's what I needed. I was using the wrong link. I needed to use ns610-gcc32.

I was using:
ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_04/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so

instead of:
ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_04/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
