Dear friends:
I created a symbolic link from /usr/bin/java to ~/.mozilla/plugins/java but still Java does not work. Please see data below.
Thank you so much.
Benjamin
[sher@localhost .mozilla]$ ls firefox mozver.dat plugins [sher@localhost .mozilla]$ cd plugins [sher@localhost plugins]$ ls flashplayer.xpt java libflashplayer.so [sher@localhost plugins]$ ls -l total 6892 -rw-r--r-- 1 sher sher 856 Dec 15 13:51 flashplayer.xpt lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Apr 16 16:22 java -> java -rwxr-xr-x 1 sher sher 7040080 Dec 15 13:51 libflashplayer.so [sher@localhost plugins]$
------------------------------------------------ I installed Sun's Java manually by downloading their Red Hat RPM. I followed instructions and the install came off fine (Done!), but when I try to play it, it won't work. I imagine that I probably need to create a symbolic link to the plugin. Here is the info:
[sher@localhost ~]$ whereis java java: /usr/bin/java /etc/java /usr/lib/java /usr/share/java [sher@localhost ~]$
Could you please help me by suggesting the command and link for this?
Thank you so much.

Not quite right. You need to symlink the plugin not the java executable:
[root@dsd plugins]# pwd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [root@dsd plugins]# ll insgesamt 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 25. Aug 2006 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /opt/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so [root@dsd plugins]#
