I have never had problems with java6 and softsqueeze. But I agree with michael that lots of applications can cause trouble. I would not think that was the problem, but you'll never know. This GNU/Linux stuff lets you choose which version to use when you've got several versions installed. Type $sudo update-alternatives --config java $sudo update-alternatives --config mozilla-javaplugin.so Check by typing e.g. 'ls -l /etc/alternatives/java*' (or mozilla-plugin...) that the symlinks are pointing to /usr/lib/jvm/java5. The second update might not be needed. Really if properly packaged the first command should change the symlinks for all related programs, such as the plugin. But it's not always happening. -- bhaagensen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bhaagensen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7418 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35565 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
