Uh, I see more 'challenges'

ls /usr/lib/jvm
java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0 jre-1.4.2 jre-1.4.2-gcj jre-gcj

So where is 6.5?

locate libjavaplugin_oji

/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_05/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_05/jre/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_05/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_05/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so
