First, what you should have if you would have done it right is something like that: [kuss@pcglast00 kuss]$ ls -l `locate libjavaplugin_oji.so` -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 271269 Sep 30 12:03 /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 272989 Sep 30 12:04 /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 61 Nov 26 15:54 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so Don't ask me what the ns600 is needed for. > which resulted in the link being inside the plugin directory, instead of > from it. I believe it also the wrong way round. What should have happened for your "ln -s x y" is that there is a link y pointing to x. However, this shouldn't have been created because file y exists already (and you haven't used -f) [*]. Thus, if you don't have JAVA_HOME/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so anymore, you have to reinstall. So, I don't see what you mean with "the link being inside the plugin directory" (should be plugins, anyway). Cheers, Michael [*] But I also faintly recall that there are some bash environment variables which control the behaviour in the case you try to overwrite existing files, don't know if it applies here. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
