Dear friends: Just found a perfect solution to the java problem in Mozilla .8. You know, you install Java. You get a "Java installed successfully" message and then when you try to launch a java applet, you get another request to download java. OK, I found the answer on the Mozilla Bugzilla page (indirectly through the mozilla.general newsgroup. The exact URL and instructions (originally for Mozilla .8 on Red Hat 6.1) are: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=25511 I just tried the "Hello World" Java applet test and it works beautifully. The URL for the Hello World test is: http://www.student.oulu.fi/~sairwas/object-test/java/test4.html You can also type "java applet test" in the Google search engine and come up with dozens more java test sites. Here are Doug's instructions as presented on the Bugzilla page: BEGIN I managed to get the Netscape Java plugin to work in Mozilla 0.8 on my RedHat 6.1 box using the previous suggestions, but with a slight twist: I needed to link to libXt.so.6, but I had to change the name to end in .so: # cd /usr/local/mozilla # ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 libXt.so After downloading the Netscape java plugin, it was necessary to link to the plugin shared lib from the plugins directory: # cd /usr/local/mozilla/plugins # ln -s java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so Hope this helps, Doug END Please make sure that you substitute your OWN Java path for the one described by Doug.
