I have Java working with Firefox 3.0.12 supplied with YDL 6.2 and with a rebuilt 3.5.7. I cannot get it to work successfully with Firefox 3.6rc1 - the java plugin registers in about:plugins but Firefox 3.6rc1 crashes when loading an applet. The main thing is that the plugin *does* work successfully with Firefox <= 3.5 :-) > I downloaded the all files with the latest release from the IBM web > site, Tried to install them, & got a message that the JRE and SDK > needed another .so file.

Result: No java capability w/Firefox on the PS-3. To get your PS3 install up and running you should only need the file ibm-java-ppc-jre-6.0-7.0.ppc.rpm from the IBM website or, as Derick pointed out, from PS3 Bodega if you set up that repo. On a fresh ydl 6.2 install the only dependency that should be required is compat-libstdc++-33. I forgot that the instructions on the Fixstars website mention Firefox 1.5 and are therefore out of date. The Firefox plugin directory should be /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins - again, Again thanks to Derick :-) Alternatively you can also put the plugin into your home directory ~/.mozilla/plugins.
