32 bit Opera 64 bit system & Java

[aerogate]

Hi there,

 

I have 64 bit Mandriva 2008, and my aim is to get both Flash and Java working in 32 bit Opera browser (32 bit Opera because there is no 64 bit flash plugin).

Flash is now working great, but having tremendous trouble getting java to work (applets).

 

Have tried both 64 and 32 bit versions of Sun Java, IBM Blackdown and Icetea, selected the java installation in opera preferences, they even validate as correct, but don't actually work.

 

Any help much appreciated.

Just a rough guess: The different java installations could give rise to some path conflicts. I'd cleanly uninstall every java version which is not needed, then recheck. For serious purpose, the sun version can be recommended (though proprietary).

Thanks Scoonma, a good starting point, will do that.

Still no joy, easy enough to get java working in Konqueror, but Opera is deluding me heheh
