Re: more mozilla 0.8 fun (java plugin)

[Ross Hamilton <rossh@netspace.net.au>]

That's interesting. I'm running testing and have moz 0.8 currently 
living in my home directory, installed from a the .tar.bz file at 
their ftp site. It's a bit flakier than previous milestones for 
intel, but basically runs OK without trying for applet support.

Blackdown's JDK 1.3 (a "final release candidate" from around ten days 
ago) is in /usr/local, along with the required OpenMotif package.

In my case, making the suggested soft-link to the java plugin is a 
complete show-stopper for mozilla. Command line output reports the 
problem as a library linking error on the browser side due to 
undefined variable "XtShellStrings" or something similar (this from 
memory - I'm in MacOS at the moment).

So it sounds as though you might be closer to success than me. If 
anyone gets this combo running. or has any bright ideas, I'd love to 
hear the details.
