Here is how I did it:

Code:

basel@darkstar:~/opt/Firefox$ cd plugins/
basel@darkstar:~/opt/Firefox/plugins$ ls -l
total 20
-rwxr-xr-x  1 basel users 18840 2005-05-11 14:17 libnullplugin.so*
basel@darkstar:~/opt/Firefox/plugins$ which java
/usr/lib/java/bin/java
basel@darkstar:~/opt/Firefox/plugins$ ln -s /usr/lib/java/plugin/i386/ns7
ns7/       ns7-gcc29/
basel@darkstar:~/opt/Firefox/plugins$ ln -s /usr/lib/java/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Enable JRE and Configurations
Test JVM

Where did you install firefox and JRE? Do you have enough permissions to access the needed files?

Knowledgements · 07-15-2005, 05:05 AM

yes i`ve enough permissions...

i`ve installed firefox = http://www.mozilla.org
i`ve installed java = http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp

i`ve tested my java .. it found that but it doesn`t works

heeelllp please

you need to add java to your PATH.
To Affect All Users, Create a file with the extension .sh under /etc/profile.d/ that contains the following lines:

Code:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/java
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

To Affect a Sigle User, edit the file $HOME/.profile or $HOME/.bashrc and add the following:

Code:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/java
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

If you installed JRE from slackware CD you will have it in you PATH:

Code:

basel@darkstar:/etc/profile.d$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/lib/qt/bin:/usr/share/texmf/bin:.

First of all, I love Go but I don't know how to play it? Could you please recommend some links to learn it?

How did you add java to your PATH?
Try to refresh or restart firefox, the applet loaded for me and I managed to access as guest.
