Once I installed the new firefox 1.0.1 I lost the java runtime environment I had finally been able to get working with firefox 1.0. The "About Mozilla Firefox" window says I'm running "Firefox/1.0.1 Fedora/1.0.1-1.3.2". I assume this new version of firefox is using files from the directory tree that starts /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1, which means I need to make a symbolic link (using the ln -s command) from /usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so to /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins. This is the same procedure I successfully used before to make the link in the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins directory. For some reason this procedure is not working -- the new link in /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins appears in red instead of blue. I've tried deleting the link (using rm -r) from both the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins and the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins directories. Although they no longer show up (using ls -al) the link creation (using ln -s) still gives a non-functioning link. Then when I do a locate libjavaplugin_oji.so I get -- /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so which seems to be saying the links are still there in both firefox directories! When I try ls -l on the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins directory I get: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Mar 6 16:51 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> libjavaplugin_oji.so flashing in red -- it looks like the link is linking to itself. Or something.... Any suggestions on how to clean this up or at least to hack through it further?
