Java Plugin

[GhostDawg]

I'm trying to get java plugin working with Debian Sid, and after I apt-get installed j2sdk1.4, I can't seem to find the libjavaplugin_oji.so file. Why isn't this file not found?

Can someone help me or give me directions on getting this to work?

Maybe I should have done it manually, I had better luck before.

Thnx.

Can you run the java command? If so, do a whereis java

[GhostDawg]

When I run the whereis java command, this is what I get:

java: /usr/bin/java /usr/share/java /usr/share/man/man1/java.1.gz

/usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java is showing a link to this.

It seems I have the java program more then the plugin.

Shouldn't ibjavaplugin_oji.so file be listed someplace? I don't have it AFAIK.

Thnx.

Ok, so java is installed... now we need to find that plugin.

updatedb && locate libjavaplugin

[GhostDawg]

This is the one I'm finding with the locate command:

/usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/lib/i386/libjavaplugin_jni.so

I did do an updatedb before I ran locate. It seems this is the only libjavaplugin it's finding. And I made a link in the .mozilla/plugins directory but still not working.

Anymore suggestions?

Thnx.

Try getting java manually from sun.com

[GhostDawg]

Well I found the one file libjavaplugin_oji.so and put a link to the .mozilla/plugins directory and it's still not working.

I will try manually installing Sun's java.

Thnx.
