Re: [K12OSN] Java in Firebird (Phoenix)

[Petre Scheie <petre maltzen net>]

To do it in Mozilla, I just did this:

Download java from sun and run the *.bin file which installs the lib plugin.
cd ~/.mozilla/plugins
ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
libjavaplugin_oji.so

and then I had to restart Mozilla.  (The last line above is the symlink 
command you were asking about.)
I don't know if you can use the same plugin for Firebird as for Mozilla, 
but make sure you get the right one from Sun.  The first time I tried 
this I got the one 'for GCC 3.2 compiled systems', and it didn't work.
