* Philipp Thomas (pth@t-link.de) [021006 21:09]: ::>But they *do not* work with Mozilla. :: ::Nobody stated anything else, but that wasn't the question! The ::question was if the Java VMs run and that they do. Well, since I started the whole Java thread I know it had something to do with the original question. ;) ::>If SuSE were to compile Mozilla with the older GCC it ::>would work fine as is evident by using the mozilla.org pkg. :: ::Yeah, and break all packages that use the Gecko render engine like for ::instance galeon. Well. A functional Mozilla w/ the Java plugin is much more important to me then a 2nd string browser and the file manager of another desktop I don't use...and I'll bet 90% of SuSE users don't use :) And frankly when Konqueror supports tabbed browsing. I won't care. I'll just use it. ::Using gcc 2.95.3 to recompile selected packages is no option for us. ::We're very happy that we no longer have to maintain three different ::versions of gcc and instead have *one* version that covers *all* ::platforms we're supporting. That one version is quite enough to ::maintain. Just take a look inside the GCC source RPM and you'll see a ::rather larger number of patches we're applying. I feel for ya. I really do. But I feel more for the customer who has to deal with the BBC and other such sites that use JAVA and bitch at you when it's not there or doesn't work. :) This problem with the java plugin isn't 1/10th as bad as the libc5 to Glibc change over. It'll be fine, but for now I guess I just have to uninstall galeon and nautilus since they are not essential to my daily work. cheers! -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe..
