I've been following the thread here about SuSE 8.1 with the gcc 3.2 compiled version of mozilla and the problems with the java plugin. While I am waiting for SuSE 8.1 to show up in a theatre near me, I started tinkering with Red Hat 8.0 which is also gcc 3.2 based. Well, following a tip on the redhat-list, I got the current Sun java 1.4.1 plugin to work in mozilla. I can't explain why, but I if you create a symlink to the plugin from the mozilla/plugin directory instead of copying the plugin there, then java applets work. Maybe someone with 8.1 can try that and report back. Here were my exact steps: o downloaded the j2re-1_4_1-linux-i586-rpm.bin file from Sun web site o chmod a+x j2re-1_4_1-linux-i586-rpm.bin o ./j2re-1_4_1-linux-i586-rpm.bin (To extract the rpm file) o rpm -ivh j2re-1_4_0_01-fcs-linux-i386.rpm o cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins o ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.0_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so The path names are from Red Hat 8.0, so may be slightly different on SuSE 8.1 Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Sing blue silver Got spam?
