trouble with java using forefox 1.0 broken sym-link
I am new to slackware but not new to linux I was using fedora C1 but was frustrated with it. After reading many posts I have chosen slack 10.0 for everyday use and debian 3.0 r3 to play with. My problem is that I keep getting a broken sym-link from my plugins folder in firefox to java folder so I can play pogo games. Im sure i have missed something. I can create the link but it does not work. I look at the link properties and it says its broken. Thank you, I really like this formum. Kelean

Type: ls -l ~/.mozilla/plugins
And paste the output. You should read something like: libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/lib/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so Check if the file being pointed to in /usr exists, if it doesn't exist there try to see if you can locate libjavaplugn_oji.so. If you still can't find it, install j2sdk package. |
if the link is broken, can you update it?....

ok I did command and here is what was returned
total 21 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 72 2004-12-04 21:19 libjavaplugin_oji_so. -> /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji_so. -rwxr-xr-x 1 kevin users 18840 2004-11-07 13:27 libnullplugin.so bash-2.05b$ ln -s /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji_so. |
Have you tried specifying the full paths when creating the symlink? Like so:
Code:
ln -sf /path/to/jre/plugin/libjavaplugin_oji_so /path/to/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji_so Just something you could try. JJ |
The java version you are using is afaik not secure, there are security issues with it. Upgrade to 1.4.2_06 or the 1.5.0 version.
The symlink is not good, instead of /libjavaplugin_oji_so try libjavaplugin_oji.so because that's how the file is named. Code:
cd to your plugindir Code:
ln -s /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4.2_06 /usr/lib/java (if your installing the package below) http://www.slackware.org.br/~patrick...ches/packages/ Good luck :) The location of the 1.5.0 plugin: libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so |
