Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Have downloaded the ver 5 JRE for mozilla, run the binary and then tried to add the symbolic link as described here . So here's my screen that has the terminal showing files were installed corectly (I ran the bin twice to make sure) and the used find to check the location... and it tells me the files don't exist! :wall::furious3:

 

Pls have a look at my screen shot and tell me what's going on... :help:

 

MDK 10.1 offical and Gnome 2.6?

thanks...

are you sure you.........

 

used the correct plugin based on your version of GCC?

 

did you symlink the plugin as root, not user?

 

did you have the browser closed while doing the symlink?

 

if the answer of "no" to any of the above, the plugin will fail.

GCC? Waz-at?

 

Didn't get as far as symlinking... couldn't find the file to confirm its location... That's my problem. Cannot find the files anywhere. :angry:

a default install of Java in Mandrake will put it in /usr. the plugin you need to symlink will be in /usr/java/j2re<version>/plugin/i386/. you need to use the correct plugin type from one of the directories in there to symlink it. for Java1.5X that folder would be /ns7. for Java1.4X the folder would be /ns610-gcc32.

 

for some more help, see my post #39 in This Thread. it refers to an older version of Java, but the same method still apllies.

Ok went to /usr/java and the dir is empty.. yes tried ls -a, and all is empty..

 

Trying urpmi again..these are the options;

 

gcc-java

gettext-java

java_binfmt

libdbjava3.3

libdbjava4.1

libdbjava4.2

I reinstalled the latest version of the sun j2re yesterday, so maybe this can help you:

 

Download it from here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html

download the xxx-rpm.bin version

as root:

run it to accept the license agreement and unpack the rpm: sh j2re*-rpm.bin

install it with urpmi: urpmi j2re*.rpm

 

I then edited /etc/profile to add:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06

export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

 

I followed the instructions in the firefox help page to instruct firefox as to where java was.

 

Not sure how you handle mozilla but the posts above should point you to the right answer.

 

I did point Konqueror to the new path /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/bin/java but it's not working for some reason. I'll have to figure that one out sometimes but I don't use Konq for web browsing much anymore now that I use Firefox.
