If you think that's hard, try maintaining a Windows system.

Where'd you install it from?
SUSE has this great tool called YAST, which allows you to install things such
as that and not have to worry about the linking and such.

Uh, yeah.
What you said. (I'm a newbie and have no idea of these things.)

What happens when you type about:plugins in the address line? You should get
something like this (from mine):
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_07-b03
File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_07
MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
application/x-java-vm Java Yes
application/x-java-applet Java Yes
I honestly dropped back from 1.5.0_10 because it wasn't working on many
things. 1.5.0_07 seems much happier.
I haven't tried 1.6 yet. I'll fire up another system and try it there.
