The original poster should know that with the sun java distribution and firefox 1 on FC3 was able to enable java in firefox with a simple link (be sure to enable java in firefox too). The below might help.... When installing java there is some interaction with alternatives on FC3 that I do not have a correct solution for. I just renamed the alternatives hooks and made 'fresh links'. # file /usr/bin/java* /usr/bin/java: symbolic link to `/usr/java/jdk1.5.0/bin/java' /usr/bin/java-alternatives: symbolic link to `/etc/alternatives/java' /usr/bin/javac: symbolic link to `/usr/java/jdk1.5.0/bin/javac' /usr/bin/javac-alternatives: symbolic link to `/etc/alternatives/javac' # java -version java version "1.5.0" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode, sharing) # firefox -v Mozilla Firefox 1.0, Copyright (c) 2004 mozilla.org # find / -xdev -name libjavaplugin_oji.so | while read i > do > ls -l $i > done -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 185988 Sep 15 06:18 /usr/java/jdk1.5.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 134116 Sep 15 06:18 /usr/java/jdk1.5.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 59 Jan 4 14:33 /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/jdk1.5.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so I wish I knew more about java.... -- T o m M i t c h e l l spam unwanted email.
