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 at localhost .mozilla]$ ls firefox mozver.dat plugins [sher at localhost .mozilla]$ cd plugins [sher at localhost plugins]$ ls flashplayer.xpt java libflashplayer.so [sher at 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 at 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 at localhost ~]$ whereis java java: /usr/bin/java /etc/java /usr/lib/java /usr/share/java [sher at localhost ~]$ Could you please help me by suggesting the command and link for this? Thank you so much. Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin Sher sher07 at mindspring.com
