You need to install as root, that's probably causing the acces denied error. Chances are, that the jre has been already installed on your system. Look for a directory like /usr/lib/SunJava2-1.4.2/jre (could be lower version, I'm at Suse 9.0) If you have that, it is already there. What you should do then is make a symbolic link link in the Mozilla plugin directory to the jre plugin library: su cd /opt/mozilla/plugins ln -s /usr/lib/SunJava2-1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so exit Always assuming you have a standard tree. I'm sure the jre is in the distro somewhere. Best regards, Jos van Kan. On Thursday 20 May 2004 16:54, Matt Stamm wrote:
Need java-plugin advice.
I'm using Suse 8.1, Mozilla 1.0.1. When I visit certain site I get the following message...
"This page contains information of a type (application/x-java-vm) that can only be viewed with the appropriate plug-in...Click OK to download"
I click OK, go to a Netscape page and select Java 2 Linux plug-in, a long download occurs but the install fails with "access denied".
How can I get this plugin installed? Should I go directly to Sun and find the download? Should I go to Suse to see if they supply one for 8.1? What is the difference between the run-time environment and the plug-in and do I need both? Should I use the self extracting or RPM?
Please advise!
Thanks, Matt
