I've never had this much trouble getting Java to work. I can't imagine what the problem might be. I wish there were some error.log you could see that would give helpful hints.

I just linked the file, as root. Maybe if you copied or linked the file

as a user that might gink it up? Then shut down firefox, and re-run it.

Here's what I did, with jre in /opt
[root@iam opt]# cd /usr/lib/firefox-2.0/plugins/
[root@iam plugins]#
ln-s /opt/jre1.5.0_09/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
libjavaplugin_oji.so
[root@iam plugins]# cd /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.13/plugins/
[root@iam plugins]# ln
-s /opt/jre1.5.0_09/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
libjavaplugin_oji.so
[root@iam plugins]# cd ~/.mozilla/plugins/
[root@iam plugins]# ln
-s /opt/jre1.5.0_09/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
libjavaplugin_oji.so

This is using the jre1.5.0_09 bin. release, where I put the .bin file
in /opt/ and executed it. That's all I have done to make it work. Did

similar with flash only I copied the file to those locations.

java.com is happy with my installation as well. Of course something will
yum in, in the middle of the night, and it will blow up again. I've been
married 3 1/2 times, so I'm used to a skittish bride. <cackles> Ric

Hmmm, maybe I just located the problem?

[root@moe ~]# rpm -qa --qf '%{name}\t%{arch}\n' 'firefox*'
firefox i386
firefox x86_64

I know this is a dumb question, but how can one be married 'n.5' times? :-)

Thanks,
Mike
