It's been bugging me for ages. I downloaded the Java plugin package, followed the instructions to the letter, and nothing. The plugin doesn't show up in about:plugins, mozilla doesn't complain at all, it just starts up and refuses to acknowledge the new plugin. This was even more infuriating because it's actually working on a mostly identical setup on another of my machines. There's also been quite a few occasions where people in #slug have tried to install it, with similarly mixed results.
Finally got around to trying an ldd on the plugin this morning, and it turns out that it's depending on an older libstdc++ library: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 On debian systems, this file is in the package libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1. I'm sure if you plug "libstdc++2.9" into rpmfind.net you'll come up with appropriate packages for other distros.
