As someone else noted, you simply create a link from the java plugin to
the browser plugin directory. Here are a couple of examples from
various machines I've got running around here:
RHWS 4
file /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.7/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0.7/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so: symbolic link to
`/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so'
SuSE 10
file /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so: symbolic link to
`/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-sun-1.4.2.06/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so'
Sometimes the install works, sometimes it does not. If I install the
java goods and It doesn't work in my browser, I simply create the sym
link by hand:
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0.7/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Until later, Geoffrey
