Thanks Rob and Soeren for the help -- it was very cool to learn how to
make my own java packages; I think these are the first .deb's I've
really made for myself, so that feels great. Unfortunately, this
didn't solve my problems.
firebird, unfortunately, needs java 1.4.2, and I don't think there's a
deb-src for 1.4.2 anywhere (and it may be that java 1.4.2 for
linux-ppc doesn't yet exist -- for instance, linuxppc doesn't list it
on their java page). Or have I misunderstood -- has anyone managed to
get firebird to run java on the powerpc yet?
Mozilla, on the other hand, ought to work -- but Im still getting the
same error I did earlier:
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/plugin/ppc/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so [/usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/plugin/ppc/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: __pure_virtual]
SO I guess it isn't related to the gcc version used to compile mozilla
& java. Anyone have any other ideas? And again -- does anyone have
java running successfully with mozilla, especially on sid?
thanks agian for all the help,
matt
