Re: Mozilla + Java for potato
I don't see a package named libc6g-dev in debian (web search form, all
distributions). Do you mean libc6-dev? There is xlib6g-dev.
I'm running mozilla 0.9.1 built from unstable source, and have not
been able to get java to work with it or prior builds. I tried
downloading the plugin that the netscape pages take you to, but it
didn't seem to take.
Also, does anyone know if JavaScript should be working in this
release, without the Java support? I assumed yes, since the two are
really much different. But I'm having trouble accessing a site that
says parts need only JavaScript.
I had concluded Java just wasn't going to work, but I'd love to find
I'm wrong. My system is mostly woody.
