Hello, I have installed from the ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/0.9.8/7.2 mozilla-0.9.8.5.i386.rpm mozilla-mail-0.9.8.5.i386.rpm Also installed: IBMJava2-JAAS IBMJava2-JAVACOMM IBMJava2-JRE 1.3-67 IBMJava2-SDK java2 These are as current as the SuSE 7.2 online update. The Mozilla browser "crashes" on some web pages. Java console crashes. FYI Konquerer is configured for Java and works fine. FYI NS4.7 on another machine with SuSe 7.2 also has some difficulty with the same web pages. What exactly has to be done to configure Mozilla with Java ? What is xpi ? Is it necessary ? Where is it ? How is it installed ? What is jre1.3.x ? Is it necessary ? Where is it ? How is it installed ? What are the other RPMs on the above mentioned suse FTP? Are they necessary ? What is their main function ? Is there a procedure somewhere that gives a checklist and end user (who knows Netscape) oriented explanation of what is needed to support Mozilla 0.9.8 on SuSE Linux? Where is it ?
You should make a softlink to libjavaplugin_oji.so in your /opt/mozilla/plugins directory. You can find this plugin in the IBM Java or Sun Java packages. Once you do this..it should preform quite nicely with Java. :) * John Sved (johnsved@compuserve.com) [020301 07:07]: ->Hello, -> ->I have installed from the ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/0.9.8/7.2 -> ->mozilla-0.9.8.5.i386.rpm ->mozilla-mail-0.9.8.5.i386.rpm -> ->Also installed: -> ->IBMJava2-JAAS ->IBMJava2-JAVACOMM ->IBMJava2-JRE 1.3-67 ->IBMJava2-SDK ->java2 -> ->These are as current as the SuSE 7.2 online update. -> ->The Mozilla browser "crashes" on some web pages.

I made the link and checked it in the /opt/mozilla/plugins dirctory the libjavaplugin_oji.so is there. But ..... Mozilla still "crashes" on the troublesome web page. It is a chat site that my wife uses. Konqueror is fine there. The web site has an animated title banner. It also has a blank area where a message appears: "Java Applet is not loaded. (Java interpreter disabled)" I think it is the window where one enters text. It is "powered by para chat". So maybe Konquerer ignores the problem while Mozilla gives up ! In Konquerer I set K Browser -> settings -> Java to Enable Java Globally Show Java Console Shutdown Applet Server when inactive (timeout 120 seconds) I applied combinations of these to no effect except the message changed to Loading Applet and an eventual timeout message. What should I check next ? Ben Rosenberg wrote:

Another observation: On another machine running the same SuSe 7.2 and still using Nesscape 4.7x the chat message window (Applet) works. I hope all this is pointing towards a cure .... Ben Rosenberg wrote:
