Guest flare Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 If like me you are wondering why Java doesn't work for your browser, then this page reveals all http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/whichjava.html Note for MDK 9.1 you have to use the Blackdown version of a JDK. Remove any Sun pre-existing ones first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 In case of 9.1, for mozilla, Sun's JRE works allright. I think it's because mandrakesoft compiles mozilla packages with gcc 2.9.6 to maintain compatibility. However, texstar's phoenix packages doesn't work with Sun's JRE. I am going to download the gcc 3.2 version of blackdown and check whether it works for both mozilla and phoenix. If not.. well.. I guess I can get mozilla source rpms and recompile it. Thanks for the tip Flare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I installed phoenix just from downloading it from mozilla.org, not from the texstar RPMs, and Sun JRE works fine w/that version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flare Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 OK you are correct I am using Phoenix downloaded from Texstar's RPM's. After downloading the Blackdown JRE Java now works fine. One other "benefit" is that Java Web Start also works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
