Hi Jeanette, A few things for you to try: 1. Can you type in "which java" and hit <Enter> and show us the output? /usr/bin/java 2. I'm not sure if you are using the right plug-in or if it is going to the right place (I have not used Sun's Java on Linux before). You seem to be using the Netscape 7 plugin (note: ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so). Although, IIRC, Netscape 7 is somewhat compatible to Mozilla and Firefox, but can you see if there is a mozilla or firefox directory? Further, there are 2 types of plug-ins for IBM's Java, one compiled with GTK2 and another for netscape. Can you see if there is a "gtk2" version for Sun's Java? There is only the jre which is rpm or extractable install. Don't see a gtk one. Also there is a java devl pkg which I installed per Fedora core 5 unoffical faq 3. Open a browser window and type this in the address bar, "about:plugins" and hit <Enter> and see if you can see the Java plug-in registered. I see everything but the Java Plugin It's one more step to check if the browser has indeed recognized and registered the plug-in, which means that the problem could be with the applet itself. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
