Here is some collected wisdom that was given to me to get Java working in Mozilla by Isaac, so I'll pass it along to you. I haven't organized it well, but all the info should be there.
HTH Edmund 1st, install the jdk/jre, then: youre gonna want the fully qualified file name for the symlink ie: ln -s /usr/jre1.3.1/plugins/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/local/mozilla0.9.3/mozilla/plugins both the file to be linked and the folder its going to need to be fully qualified Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > > As for your email, the command line solution can be found on page 98 of > Running > Linux (Welsh, Dalheimer and Kaufman - O'Reilly & Associates) and on page > 219 of > Linux in a Nutshell (Siever, Spainhour, Figgins and Hekman - O'Reilly). > If you > don't already have both books I STRONGLY recommend picking them up. Anyway, the > command > you're looking for is "ln". It works as follows: (the #'s are just to > signify > the root command prompt) > > # ln [options] sourcename(s) [destination directory] > > where "sourcename(s)" is the name of the file(s) you want to create > links to (in > your case libjavaplugin_oji.so) and "destination directory" is the > directory you > want the links to appear in (in my case it was > /usr/local/mozilla0.9.3/mozilla/plugins, yours will be pretty similar - > just > make sure it ends up in /plugins) > > The option you'll be using will be -s (for symbolic).

It might also help to do change the owner and group of the /plugins directory to youruserid: Chown -R youruserid plugins (from the /usr/lib/mozilla dir) Chgrp -R youruserid plugins (same) > -----Original Message----- > From: Phil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 5:26 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [expert] Mozilla & Java > > > Hello All, > > This probably seems like a dumb question but I can't see how > I can get > Mozilla to use the Netscape Java plugin. > > I can't do any Internet Banking with konqueror and only some > transactions > with Netscape.
