Re: [SLE] Java 2 plugin install help
Jos,
It looks like I have the software and links you mentioned but I'm still having the Default Plugin pop-up with the suggestion that I need to download and install the java-2 plugin.
Below I've included some "ls" listings to show what I current have ...
in /opt/mozilla/plugins ...
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2003-06-26 17:50 libflashplayer.so -> /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 60 2003-06-26 17:50 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/lib/SunJava2/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18512 2002-09-11 14:40 libnullplugin.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 52 2003-06-26 17:50 nppdf.so -> /usr/X11R6/lib/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 2003-06-26 17:50 raclass.zip -> /usr/lib/RealPlayer8/raclass.zip
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2003-06-26 17:50 rpnp.so -> /usr/lib/RealPlayer8/rpnp.so
in /usr/lib/SunJava2-1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 335117 2002-09-11 02:26 libjavaplugin_oji.so
please note that in /usr/lib there is a sym-link named SunJava2 that links to SunJava2-1.3.1
I also have...
in /home/matts/.mozilla/plugins
-rwxr-xr-x 1 matts users 856 2004-03-08 09:41 flashplayer.xpt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 matts users 1470464 2004-03-08 09:41 libflashplayer.so
Could I need a symbolic link here in my user ??

You need to install as root, that's probably causing the acces denied error. Chances are, that the jre has been already installed on your system. Look for a directory like /usr/lib/SunJava2-1.4.2/jre (could be lower version, I'm at Suse 9.0) If you have that, it is already there. What you should do then is make a symbolic link link in the Mozilla plugin directory to the jre plugin library: su cd /opt/mozilla/plugins ln -s /usr/lib/SunJava2-1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so exit Always assuming you have a standard tree. I'm sure the jre is in the distro somewhere.
Best regards, Jos van Kan.

Need java-plugin advice.
I'm using Suse 8.1, Mozilla 1.0.1. When I visit certain site I get the following message...
"This page contains information of a type (application/x-java-vm) that can only be viewed with the appropriate plug-in...Click OK to download"
I click OK, go to a Netscape page and select Java 2 Linux plug-in, a long download occurs but the install fails with "access denied".
How can I get this plugin installed? Should I go directly to Sun and find the download? Should I go to Suse to see if they supply one for 8.1? What is the difference between the run-time environment and the plug-in and do I need both? Should I use the self extracting or RPM?
Please advise!
Thanks, Matt

There are 3 subdirs in my /usr/lib/SunJava2/jre/plugin/i386 ns4 ns610 ns610-gcc32 Make sure you have the right version. I noticed you made a symlink to ns600 (would be comparable to my ns610) whereas I would need ns610-gcc32 (depends on which compiler built your mozilla, gcc 3 or gcc 2) Be sure mozilla sees the plugin (Help>About plugins, you'll see a whole avalanche of java apps if it does). If not, try the other symlink. Best regards, Jos. On Thursday 20 May 2004 20:21, Matt Stamm wrote:
