Anyone else having this issue with Mozilla 1.0.1 under SuSE 8.1?

If someone could give me a hint how to fix it. I'd be really grateful.
This sounds like the problem Gentoo users trying out 1.4rc1 (including myself) are having with Mozilla and the Java plugin. Basically it turns out that when Mozilla is compiled using gcc 3.2, binary plugins compiled using earlier versions can't link in. Well, Java and Flash can't, though oddly the Acrobat Reader plugin works fine... SuSE 8.1 is gcc3.2-based, so presumaly SuSE built Mozilla from source in that build environment, hence the same incompatibility. I was wondering how they were going to deal with that - obviously they weren't. :-} As SuSE and Red Hat are now moving to gcc3.2 distributions, and as presumably others will follow suit shortly, perhaps Sun will come under more pressure to produce a build that interoperates properly, or alternatively perhaps Blackdown and/or IBM will. Until then, it'll probably work if you just download a binary Mozilla build from mozilla.org. :-( Ah, it's like libc->glibc all over again :-} -- Rachel
