Since it pertains to switching from gcj to sun java, I think it does. I found several problems with that page you link to, and solved them, but, I'm not sure if what I did was correct. First, the version numbers included in the various commands have to be adjusted since the actual version you download from the site has progressed beyond the one that's used in the suggested commands - that's fairly trivial, but needs to be pointed out. Once I sorted that out, I could not find an elegant way to turn off gcj; my first inclination was to remove it, but, that led to a request to delete about 25 other packages from my machine for dependencies - I stopped that. Then I tried to remove the plug-in from Mozilla - creating the linked file to the java, as suggested by one of the commands on that linked page, had already produced a message that the file existed, so I suppose that libjavaplugin_oji.so was being used by gcj; I renamed that file and then ran the link command again - that appeared to be successful and produced the appearance of Sun Java in the plug-in list in Firefox; but, the gcj plug-in was still there, and attempts to use the ATT Relay site continued to fail; then I renamed a second plug-in in the mozilla plug-in folder called libjavaplugin.so - that didn't work, because it was simply a link to another *.so file somewhere I suppose, so gcj continued to appear in my plug-in list in Firefox - finally, I just created a folder inside the Mozilla plug-in folder called 'old' and moved the now renamed files 'libjavaplugin_oji.so.gcj' and 'libjavaplugin.so.gcj' to this folder, and that finally solved the problem. Now, the only java that appears in my Firefox plug-in list is the one from Sun, and the ATT Relay site works perfectly. So, my question is, was there some better way of accomplishing this end? If not, this is not what one could call a simple solution, and that page you linked to will definitely NOT get the desired result without a lot of hacking. I'm betting I came up with a kludge, and there must be a better way. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD |
