Once I installed the new firefox 1.0.1 I lost the java runtime
environment I had finally been able to get working with firefox 1.0.
The "About Mozilla Firefox" window says I'm running "Firefox/1.0.1
Fedora/1.0.1-1.3.2". I assume this new version of firefox is using
files from the directory tree that starts /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1, which
means I need to make a symbolic link (using the ln -s command)
from /usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
to /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins. This is the same procedure I
successfully used before to make the link in
the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins directory.
For some reason this procedure is not working -- the new link
in /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins appears in red instead of blue. I've
tried deleting the link (using rm -r) from both
the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins and the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins
directories. Although they no longer show up (using ls -al) the link
creation (using ln -s) still gives a non-functioning link. Then when I
do a locate libjavaplugin_oji.so I get --
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
which seems to be saying the links are still there in both firefox
directories! When I try ls -l on the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins
directory I get:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Mar 6 16:51 libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
libjavaplugin_oji.so
flashing in red -- it looks like the link is linking to itself. Or
something.... Any suggestions on how to clean this up or at least to
hack through it further?
This isn't a fedora question but a firefox question.
But there are so many lists. I have subscribed to more than I know.
It seems nowadays one has to subscribe to a separate list for every package
available. ...I digress...
Did you do this?
cd /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins/
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so .
To make sure you created the link properly try this:
ls -Ll /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
ls -Ll /usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
(they better be the same size (^: )
Make sure java is enabled under preferences|options.
then /usr/bin/firefox
try it out
