Hello,
I am having trouble installing Java on my computer. I am
primarily interested in the virtual machine. I tried
following the instructions in the handbook, to no success. Most recently I tried installing Blackdown. Here is what I
did. I went to the Ports collection as root and found
linux-blackdown-jdk1.4.2 and performed make install clean. There were no error messages. That sequence created a
directory (/usr/local/linux-blackdown-jdk1.4.2). Next, I
changed directories (/usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins) and
created a symbolic link to libjavaplugins_oji.so (ln -s
/usr/local/linux-blackdown-jdk1.4.2/jre/plugins/
i386/mozilla/libjavaplugins_oji.so). Next, I exited root and
became user. Then I typed %export PATH=/usr/local/linux-blackdown-jdk1.4.2/bin:$PATH
Then I exited all open terminals and restarted Mozilla with mozilla, and the following error messages were reported.
Error: No running window found. LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/ShockwaveFlash_linux.so [/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/ShockwaveFlash_linux .so: invalid file format] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/local/linux-blackdown-jd k1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so [Shared object "libdl.so.2" not found, required by "libjavaplugin_oji.so"]
Completely off the top of my head, and assuming you're running a native FreeBSD version of mozilla, I'd say you need to install the linux-pluginwrapper port. Both the linux-blackdown JDK and the Flash plugins that mozilla is whining about are linux shared libs, a FreeBSD program can't load them without help.
OK, Matt _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
