I am also having trouble with java and mozilla.

I tried to install java plugin through the mozilla browser auto install 
process. I started mozilla as root and it said that the plugin install 
was a success.

However on loading mozilla I get this error:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialise shared library 
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
[libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shard object file: No such file 
or directory]

Some r4esearch showed that I need a symlink:

Linux Put a symlink to 
/usr/java/jre<version>/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so in 
your plugins/ directory. (Note copying the file instead of making the 
symlink will cause Java to crash.)

(http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.6b/installation-extras.html)

But I have a sybolic link in my plugins/ directory that points to this 
.so file.

And these errors for which I have found no information:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialise shared library libXt.so [libXt.so: 
cannot open shard object file: No such file or directory]LoadPlugin: 
failed to initialise shared library libXext.so [libXext.so: cannot open 
shard object file: No such file or directory]

I am running Mozilla 1.5 and debian 2.1.1 gnome 1.4

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks
