Hi James,
it is likely a problem with the location of the pluggins, not the java install
itself.
I don't use the regular Mozilla (I like Mozilla Firebird) but it is installed
on my system, and I show Mozilla plugins at:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins (just mozplugger.so)
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.1/plugins (appears to be the 'real' plugin dir)
Make sure your sym link is in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.1/plugins (or where ever
your other plugins reside). (use 'locate mozilla|grep plug')
Next, once that is in place, and I think it may need to be executable, restart
Mozilla and look at the plugins list. It is either under "help ->about ->
plugins" or else type the url as "about:plugins"
That will show you what plugins the browser is aware of and at this point
should definately show a heading similar to:
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2_03-b02
File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2_03
followed by a chart of application associations.
Let me know if you can get it to that point, the key being finding the
location of your existing plugins and linking to that directory (there may be
a ~/.mozilla dir with plugins, but I think we are after the global area)
I just had a look at the /usr/bin/mozilla (shell script to start mozilla) and
it shows:
###
if [ "$MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH" ]
then
MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=$MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH:/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins:/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.1/plugins
else
MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins:/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.1/plugins
fi
export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH
###
so based on that (check your own script) that /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.1/plugins
should work.
