Hello Paul Isaac was very helpful to me in getting that problem solved, and this is what he said (distilled): 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). So, assuming your mozilla directory were located like mine is, the command would be: [ed. note - Both the file to be linked and the folder need to have fully qualified path names, as here shown:] # ln -s /usr/jre1.3.1/plugins/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/local/mozilla0.9.3/mozilla/plugins Your command would only differ depending on where your mozilla folder is. Anyway, after you install it you should use the simple command "ls -l [destionation directory]" to see that your symbolic link arrived appropriately. The line for the java plugin should start with the letter "l" to show it is a link. If all seems fine and dandy then try going to someplace that uses java and see if you get the error message. If you do, try logging out and logging back in. He also showed me a shortcut that works if you're using KDE, but this method works regardless, so that's the one I'll pass along.
