installation java runtime 1.5.0 as mozilla plugin

[wanderingidea]

Hi,

I installed jre-1_5_0-linux-amd64-rpm.bin on a amd64 with Fedora core 2,
created/etc/profile.d/java.sh and
did ln -sf /usr/java/jre1.5.0/lib/amd64/libjava.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins

Yet I cannot see a java plugin in Mozilla :(
Is libjava.so wrong? Or something else?
Are these rights sufficient?
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 176808 Sep 15 11:49 libjava.so

Anyone any ideas please?
Thanks,

Cor

I'm not sitting in front of my Linux box right now, but this might help you. http://www.fedorafaq.org/#java

Just remembered another how-to at http://fedoranews.org/tchung/sunjava/ I think this might be more of use to you just modify for you purpose.

don't you have libjavaplugin_oji.so somewhere with Java instalation? AFAIK this is plugin file... libjava.so is just shared object used by Java but it is not Netscape plugin...

Thanks for the quick responses!
I tried everything - no luck.
However I am using Fedora core 2 64 bits. Can it have anything to do with this?
Is there anyone who has this version working with Java?

Yes! I got the java Mozilla plugin working with the Blackdown version.
Thanks again.
