Hi list, I'm afraid this question reveals a lot of holes in my knowledge. Well, on the other hand, there are other things I know about, please foregive me :-) Will someone be kind enough and explain the correlation between the various JAVA stuff. This way I'll be able to set things up manually if need be. My problems are most likely not related to my JAVA version(s), but more likely that my general JAVA setup is flawed. To start with, I download a JRE from SUN. Not the JDK, I'm not developing things, just running JAVA stuff, right? I'll install that using whatever, most likely RPM or the binary selfextracing SUN file. This will put some JAVA stuff into a directory below /usr/lib/some-java-directory. The binary java of which is the very file thats giving me an answer when in a shell I give: "java -version". The word 'java' in itself is a symlink placed in /etc/alternatives, right? In /etc/alternatives there is a link to 'jre', I guess that needs to point to somewhere down into the /usr/lib/jave structure? As well as the link /etc/alternatives/jvm should point to somewhere sensible? Now, down deep into /usr/lib/java I find a file under '.../i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so. I place a symlink to this file in /home/my-user-name/.mozilla/plugins/., right? I then fire up FF and goto java.com to see what java I have installed? I could also point FF to about:plugins to reveal more info? What have I missed here. I suppose the two files (the java binary itself and the oji-thing) should have the same origin? Or what? And mind you, I didn't ask about Seamonkey og Icedtea and all the other interesting stuff that aparently has to do with JAVA too...? Again, I'm most thankful for any clarification that will be written. I hope others can use this as well. All this arises because JAVA was automatically updated in my openSuSE11.1 yesterday morning. This causes my netbank (and literally thousand of other openSUSE users in this coundtry) not to work anymore. Once fixed, I suppose I can lock the dammed thing so it won't happen again! -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
