saurya_s Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hi all I am just not able to do this. What i am doing, going to usr/lib Now here I find three mozillas,- mozilla,mozilla 1.4, mozilla firebird. I understand Mozilla 1.4 and mozilla firebird as two programs. So where is mozilla coming from. As I checked that my version of mozilla is version 1.4-the one which I launch. Anyway I go to the /usr/lib/mozilla..../plugins. I make a symlink like this ln -s /usr/local/j2re1.4.1_06/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so Now this is not working? There is no other plugin in my plugin directory. Secondly, do I need any configuraton from helper application in mozilla to make java work? Thanks SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 have you tried this rpm? ftp://mandrake-forum.org/pub/Misc/ You should just have to install it and it should do the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saurya_s Posted December 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Does this rpm works with Mozilla. Well, my exisiting j2re works with konqueror but not with mozilla and mozilla firebird.? How is ur experience. SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 I think I've found linking into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins works for me [tm] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saurya_s Posted December 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 So I guess you go to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and make the symlink. Can you plz write the command for that? I want to know where are you linking this to? Thanks SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 yes, that rpm does everything for you, or should. I don't use it, but many do. I use the j2re-1.4.2.bin>*.rpm from sun that is compiled with gcc3.2. the symlink command is ln -s /usr/java/path/to/'plugin' /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/'plugin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saurya_s Posted December 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 No that rpm doesn't do the job. I guess I need the j2re 1.4.2 I have 1.4.1 at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 you mean not for you.... then it needs to be removed,eh? Funny, seems to work for so many.....that's why its there. Keep in mind that 'version' isn't the only thing to consider. If you're running a mozilla that was compiled with gcc3.2 then you need a java compiled with gcc3.2, which 1.4.2 from sun is. Same goes for moz's compiled for older gcc's. There are recent versions of mozilla compiled with old gcc's because gcc is one of those pkgs that changes everything and some refuse to keep up and like their older stable setups. For now, it's a guessing game. Then when it's not a prob gcc3.4 will be out and we'll be in the same boat. Yuk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanackle Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 the symlink command isln -s /usr/java/path/to/'plugin' /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/'plugin' Isn't there a period "." missing in the end, or just the absolute path to the mozilla plugins directory? Something like: ln -s /usr/java/path/to/'plugin' /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/'plugin' . or: ln -s /usr/java/path/to/'plugin' /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/'plugin' /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins I guess you could put the link in either /usr/lib/mozilla or /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4. At elast my mozilla 1.3.1 seems to find and use all plugins found in either or both those directories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 [root@ml root]# ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins libflashplayer.so@ libjavaplugin_oji.so@ libmozswfdec.so* mplayerplug-in.so@ [root@ml root]# file /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so: symbolic link to `/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so' [root@ml root]# so I would have had to do ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so [root@ml root]# /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01//bin/java -version java version "1.4.2_01" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_01-b06) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_01-b06, mixed mode) [root@ml root]# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?sho...=30entry81894 This is on Mozilla's site now when I went back to download an update to my 1.4 browser. Linux (x86) The original Linux builds were built with the wrong compiler and are incompatible with some plugins and extensions. The builds have been replaced as of 01:00 UTC on December 11. To distinguish the builds, look in about:buildconfig, in the "Build tools" section, next to the line starting with "c++". The old, incorrect build will say "gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81)". The new, correct build will say "gcc version 3.2.3" (just as it does on the previous line). Full Installer (12 MB) Download all of the Mozilla components and then specify install options. Net Installer (80 KB) Download only the components you specify. tar.gz format (12 MB).
