At list under debian unstable there was a problem with the version of gcc that java was compiled with. For mozilla to recognize the plugin the version compiled with gcc-3.2 was needed (don't remeber the link but you can try googling for java balckdown gcc-3.2). Another point of interest is that with the debian package suplied by balckdown (or whomever actually packaged it) the only plugin recognized by mozilla was the one for netscape-4 which didn't support x-java-vm which most pages use. I needed to install the regular .bin package manually and then libjavaplugin_oji.so was recognized. For the plugin to work under mozilla you just need to drop it in a directory mozilla can find (I think $HOME/.mozilla/plugins or something like that for local user. Under debian the global library is under /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ don't know the redhat place). -- Micha Feigin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
