ok, but whenever I get to a web page that uses Java, the browser just
shuts down. Any thoughts? I am using Mozilla.
There is known "problem"
If you copy the plugin file (/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_03/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so in my case) to the plugin directory, the browser segfaults as it happens in your case.
You should make a softlink from java's plugin file to mozilla's plugin directory instead. In my case the command is
ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_03/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.4/plugins/
Another way to install the plugin for one user only is to softlink the plugin file to the plugin directory of the user (~/.mozilla/plugins)
