Firefox + Java?

[Ed Landaveri]

Stan, did you create the soft links after installing jre. Review the instructions on the Sun download site. I usually prefer the tar because the jre rpm gives you one step more as a real Red Hat rpm does. After you upgrade Firefox it's an issue. This is what I did:
 1. Download jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-.bin
 2. su-->pwd-->mv jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-.bin to /usr/local
 3. chmod a+x jre-1_5_0-linux-i586.bin
 4. verify permissions: ls -l
 5. ./jre-1_5_0-linux-i586.bin
 6. Do you agree? Yes.-->Done
 7. It's installed under: /usr/java/jre1.5.0
 8. cd /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.4/plugins/
 9. ln -s /usr/local/jre1.5.0_04/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
 10.Edit > Preferences. Under Advanced category > Select Enable Java
 After upgrading Firefox:
 [root at tuxie ~]# cd /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.7/plugins/
 [root at tuxie plugins]# ln -s /usr/local/jre1.5.0_04/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
 [root at tuxie plugins]# cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
 [root at tuxie plugins]#ln -s /usr/local/jre1.5.0_04/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
 
 Hope this helps.
