mozilla/unstable/java
I can't seem to get Mozilla 1.3-4 to find the java plugin.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated!
I installed mozilla from unstable and followed the directions in
about:readme-debian to pick up j2re1.4 (BlackDown Java Linux) from
ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/java/debian. After doing
mkdir -p /usr/lib/mozilla-cvs/plugins
by hand the install completed successfully.
But about:plugins shows nothing about the java .so and
application/x-java-vm type pages give an error like "This page
contains information of a type (application/x-java-vm) that can only
be viewed with an appropriate plugin."
Either javaplugin_oji.so is in the wrong place, or mozilla hasn't
associated application/x-java-vm with javaplugin_oji.so. I don't
really know how to solve either problem.
I follow the links, and javaplugin_oji.so seems to be there:
$ ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/j*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2003-04-09 11:38 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/javaplugin_oji.so -> /etc/alternatives/javaplugin_oji.so
$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/javaplugin_oji.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 59 2003-04-09 11:47 /etc/alternatives/javaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so
$ ls -l /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 258492 2002-11-01 11:56 /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so
What's installed:
$ dpkg -l j2re1.4 mozilla mozilla-browser
||/ Name Version Description
