Emil, Thanks for the help ! I did as you described: Copy "libjavaplugin_oji.so" to /usr/local/netscape/plugins/ and when I go to Help -> About Plug-ins I see lots of mime types such as aplication/x-java, application/x-java-applet, etc.
The problem now is that when I browse to a web page running Java applet (i.e, http://go.icq.com) Netscape or Mozilla disappears at once ... Any ideas ? ------------------------------------------------ "The road to success is always under construction" (Jim Miller) ------------------------------------------------ -----Original Message----- From: Kohn Emil Dan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 11:28 AM To: Nahum Cohen Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Haifux] JVM Hi Nahum, Goto Help->About Plugins and check whether the Java plugin is on. You have to see lots of mime types such as aplication/x-java, application/x-java-applet, etc handled by the plugin. Probably you will not see anything like this, meaning that the java plug-in is not loaded. In this case, 1) Exit netscape. 2) log on as root. 3) copy (or make a symbolic link of) the file /path_to/j2sdk1.4.xx/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so into the directory /path_to/netscape/plugins/ Hope this helps, Emil On Sun, 5 Oct 2003, Nahum Cohen wrote: > I have a question regarding Sun JVM runtime version: > > I am running RedHat 9 and I installed Netscape 7.1. > When I am trying to browse to a web page containing Java applet, I get > prompt that I don't have the necessary plug-in, and I have to download > it.
