I took a bit of a shortcut, and rather surprisingly, it appears to work. I have Sun's j2re prm package installed. I downloaded and extracted the blackdown java compiled with gcc 3.2 and copied just the plugin to /usr/java/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/ns610/javaplugin_oji.so I removed the existing libjavaplugin_oji.so link in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, and created a new one pointing to the new plugin (javaplugin_oji.so). Seems to work fine. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+d9hDn/07WoAb/SsRAq9XAKCaMrL5xJNXorfTQVlJgj8CSJxwVwCgo+FK OaBfJaF+lXEv2ZQKVALK2DE= =AqlH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
