Linux Tip 002

When you install Mozilla on a Linux box without specifying a [2] Java support under Mozilla by a single symbolic link. Let’s assume that you’ve just freshly installed the JVM and want to tell Mozilla to use Java. We’ll assume the following two things:
1. Your plugin directory for Mozilla is /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/plugins/
2. Your JVM directory is /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/
As root, says Jeff, type the following commands:
# cd /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/plugins/
# ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so
This will establish a symlink (symbolic link, in other words) from your Java plugin directory to a pointer-file in your Mozilla plugins directory. Mozilla will then be able to use it. YMMV, but it’s good to know. Thanks [1] Jeff!
