Dear Aries and friends:
Thanks so very much for your kind advice.
Unfortunately, this may be a KDE problem. I have now installed
Blackdown's j2re 1.1.3, Sun's j2re 1.1.3, IBM's j2 re1.1.3 plus Sun's
JDK 1.2.2. In fact, I have them all on my system simultaneously. I
recall that Axalon from Mandrake said that you can have multiple java
virtual machines installed on your system.
So, I went back into Konqueror, both as user and as root, and tried all
five combinations in succession, with the Java console turned on or off,
with "automatic detection" turned on or off and with "user-defined
path". All have failed miserably. I couldn't so much as get the "Hello
World" applet working. The only other thing I can think of is the bottom
of the Java configuration box in Konqueror, where they ask you for
"Additional Java Arguments". Perhaps this might do the trick. However,
being a newbie, I have no idea how to proceed.
KDE says on its www.konqueror.org page that the only java that seems to
work with KDE 2.1 is the Blackdown version. Of course, I am using KDE
2.01, not KDE 2.1 so I am now more confused than ever.
I think that I have done everything I can. Perhaps the problem is at the
other end, either Sun's, as KDE claims or IBM's or KDE's who knows what.
If anybody has managed to get Java working on KDE 2.01 on Mandrake 7.2,
please let me know. I have consulted the KDE archives, found a lot of
messages but no solutions that work for me.
Thank you all so much.
Benjamin
