hello can any 1 tell me iv got netscape 7.1 now i know u need to install java for this version but would i be right in saying if you download netscape version 6.2 it caomes with java enabled thanks

You have to link it correctly :

If you installed the JRE 1.4.2_04 RPM, this plugin is /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_04/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so - and to install it for Mozilla (including Mozilla Firefox), do the following:

-Open a terminal
-Change to your Mozilla (or Mozilla Firefox (*or Netscape*) ) plugins directory
-Issue the following command:
ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_04/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so

But maybe they are more things to do .Depends on your configuration.

thanks nige

Hi !

I think maybe you have to eliminate error possibilities.
Did you check , if java is working for other websites ?
Maybe some security-settings in your browser?

I also saw some applets , which are obviously designed for windoof only.
M$ changed java for some simple reasons. (Or better to say they added some features which only work with their kind of "java")
Then this applets try to load some "ms.something.*" classes .
I don´t know if there is a solution for that.
What error message do you get exactly??

well i went on to another site to test ifmy java was working it was not i recieved the same error message "this page contains information of a type)application/x-java-vm"(that can only be viewed with the appropriate plugin) "

hello again iv now checked my browser settings and im certain there is nothing to stop java

then the link is not set correctly.
click about (or help) in netscape .
search for "about plugins" and see if java is shown there .

if not try to link it again and verify your path .
you have to change the path in the example above to your needs .
mayby it´s not .../ns610-gcc32/ ... but .../ns610/... or .../ns*yourversion */... or different version of java jre

A compiler is ( http://www.linuxguruz.com/foldoc/fol...query=compiler )

Technically javac is a compiler! The machine that the object code works on happens to be virtual, but is a machine nonetheless. There are no theoretical limits that would prevent someone from making an actual (hardware) machine that could run Java object code natively (i.e. a Java processor) instead of having to use a virtual machine.

Someone mentioned that you can't use Swing with GCJ. Actually, you can use *some*. And work on that is being done pretty quickly now. See

ok iv tried to reinstall it with the following command" ln -s/usr/java/j2re-1_4_2_04/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so" and i get 6the message" ln: `./libjavaplugin_oji.so': File exists"just so im certain can u tell me how to chec what gcc i have

ok iv typed "dmesg"in aterminal and it tol me what version i have it is (gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5))
so am i right by typing in ln-s/usr/java/j2re-1_4_2_04/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so i
is this correct or not

hello again why is it when i go into mozilla it says "mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.8a1"
and im am typing" i386" should i be typing "
ln-s/usr/java/j2re-1_4_2_04/plugin/i686/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so

have u ever felt completely lost and in dire need of a game of pool ie yahoo pool im desperate

hmm . I just finished installing netscape 7 too see how it works .
To install the pliugin *I* did:
( I ve slackware 9.1)

I installed last j2sdk (1.4.2._04) from java.sun.com in /usr/lib
then made syslink from /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4.2_04 to /usr/lib/java (only for compatiliby reasons didnt replace older j2sdk)
then opened Midnight commander ( mc ) in a shellwindow

went to on the left to /usr/lib/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32 there is file libjavaplugin_oji.so

went on the right to netscape plugin directory ( /usr/lib/netscape/plugins on slackware)

then press F9 ( or click on command ) goto symlink ( verify that left side of mc window is active! )
then mc proposes to make symlink from left side dir to right side dir
just press enter
thats it !
i also tried to copy the plugin to ns-plugin dir but than ns crashed , don´t know why
hope it works for you also
j

hello again iv allso now downloaded midnight commander can u give me any tips on using it
please
