I've read every single one of these posts and nothing works. I've got libjavaplugin_oji.so in about 10 different directories:
I would like to add that in FC2(default) the plugin dir is:
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/plugins (case in which all users have access to it)
I'd rather recommend using
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
instead of the version-specific /usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/plugins !!
Should you ever update mozilla to something other than 1.6 (this did happen with RH9), you'll end up losing your plugins if they were living in the version-specific dir. whereas if you placed them in the generic /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin dir, they would stick around after the upgrade !
Just my $0.02 :)
Mine 02. Also recommend Dag Wieers' packages to streamline the process. He takes care of the symbolic links in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. I have:
[root@tabb1 root]# rpm -qa | egrep "(j2|mozilla)" | sort j2re-1.4.2-8.1.fc2.dag mozilla-1.6-8 mozilla-acroread-5.0.9-1.1.fc2.dag mozilla-j2re-1.4.2-8.1.fc2.dag mozilla-mail-1.6-8 mozilla-nspr-1.6-8 mozilla-nss-1.6-8
Had to "rpm -e j2re-1_4_2_04" to get yum to install the Dag packages. It it won't upgrade to j2re-1.4.2-8.1.fc2.dag although it seems to be a later version to the eyeball - something to do with sort order apparently.
[root@teddy cyrus]# locate libjavaplugin /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/lib/i386/libjavaplugin_jni.so /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns4/libjavaplugin.so /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib64/mozilla-1.6/plugins/java2/lib/i386/libjavaplugin_jni.so /usr/lib64/mozilla-1.6/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib64/mozilla-1.6/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib64/mozilla-1.7/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib64/mozilla-1.7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
but still mozilla will not recognize its presence. Most of those listed above are symbolic links to the main //usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so file. Can someone help me out here? Does it have to be registered in some sort of plugin registry file?
