Use that one to the 't' and get the bin file not the rpm. I cut N paste the examples and it worked without a hitch, as long as you use the .bin file.. the .rpm didn't work for me and after re-reading the instructions he says to use the .bin file. I bet that is the problem. Ric p/s All linking does it to place a file or directory where your program expects to find it, that points to where it actually is. So... ln-s /opt/jre1.5.0_07/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so link where it is ^^^^^ where you want it to appear ^^^^^ It's ln -s with a space. Darn editor wanted to wrap it.
