I have subscribed to more than I know. It seems nowadays one has to subscribe to a separate list for every package available. ...I digress... Did you do this? cd /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins/ ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so . To make sure you created the link properly try this: ls -Ll /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so ls -Ll /usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so (they better be the same size (^: ) Make sure java is enabled under preferences|options. then /usr/bin/firefox try it out http://www.cmpharm.ucsf.edu/cgi-bin/webmol.pl Richard > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list >
