* David Robertson (der@dsl.pipex.com) [030302 03:07]: ->I'm having trouble enabling java support in Netscape 7. I've installed it ->using the standard Netscape installer and also installed the Blackdown jre ->compiled with gcc3.2 (which I believe is necessary for Mozilla and Netscape), ->made the appropriate symlinks as detailed in the java docs, but no joy. -> ->Does anyone have any tips or can it be made to function with Sun Java 1.3 as ->comes as default with 8.1? Because Netscape 7 is compiled with GCC 2.95.x you should use Sun's 1.4.1 pkg. The Blackdown.org pkg is compiled with GCC 3.2 and is compatible with SuSE 8.1, RH 8.0 and Mandrake 9.0 which have Mozilla compiled with GCC 3.2...however it won't work with Netscape 7. You can have both Java pkgs installed..they won't interfere with each other. Just make the symlinks to the java plugins yourself. For Mozilla compiled with GCC 3.2 using the Blackdown.org pkg the link should look like this. libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/lib/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so The plugin in the Blackdown pkg doesn't have lib in the name but you have to make sure the symlink that Mozilla sees in it's plugin directory has this. For Netscape 7 it should look like this. libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/lib/j2re1.4.1-Sun/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so Notice that when I installed the .bin file for the Sun Java pkg I renamed the directory with a -Sun then moved it to /usr/lib. You can make symlinks from Moz and Netscape7 to each of these and unless you change the /usr/lib/java symlink then it won't break anything in the system. It just takes up space. ;) So that's about it if your going to use Mozilla (compiled with GCC 3.2) and Netscape 7. cheers! -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe..
