Hello..Perhaps someone can assist me. I'm having difficulty loading the java plugin into the default Mozilla browser.
OS - Red Hat Linux 8.0
Browser - Mozilla 1. 0. 2
sdk - J2SE 1.4.1_03
I didn't install the jdk as root, but according to Sun's documentation that did not appear to be necessary.
I've followed the instructions found on the internet and created a a symbolic link:
ln -s /home/me/j2sdk/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.2/plugins
I restarted the browser several times to no effect. I restarted the computer to no effect. I have made sure that the plugin is enabled at: Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Enable Java in the browser. Then after checking around the mozilla.org web site I learned to edit my .bash_profile document in my home directory (assuming that I am the only user of this computer). I've added
export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=$HOME/j2sdk/jre/plugin/i386/ns610
Then I created a Java Home variable, also to no effect.
export JAVA_HOME=$HOME/j2sdk
I still can not see the plugin listed in the browser when I enter about:plugins in the url window. Only the default plugin is listed.
Please help. I don't know what else I can do. I am not able to run applets in the browser.
