Can't install Java Plugin for Netscape
I was trying to install the java plugin for netscape for about an hour and I'm tired now. I installed the packege to / directory and created a link in plugins directory accroding to the installation instructions. But whenever I do, the next time, Netscape won't start up. But when I remove the link, then it starts up. Right now, there is only 3 things in my plugins folder. "flashplayer.xpt, libflashplayer.so, and libnullplugin.so". How do I fix this thing?
P.S: It's the same with Mozilla Firefox. What's wrong with this thing? How do I install it?
I got this message too, I my case the error was because I was using a version ns610 plugin (instaled with sdk 1.4.2) with netscape 7.1, after change it to ns610-gcc32 the problem was solved.
Yes, that sounds like a good possibility. The Mozilla that comes with Slackware 9.1 is compiled with the gcc 3.x series and will not work correctly with a Java plugin compiled with 2.95. You need to use a 3.x compiled version of the Java plugin.
