Java problems

atheist · 02-13-2004, 06:07 PM

I've been having some problems with getting java to work on mozilla-firebird.
I followed this tutorial http://jetblackz.freesite.org/InstallingJava.html but got no results.
I was just wondering if there was some nifty apt package I could download to solve this problem?
I did search for everything containing java using synaptic and installed what I thought could possibly help me without any luck.
Thanks.

instead of this command:

Code:

ln -sf /usr/local/j2re1.4.2_03/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

try this:

Code:

ln -sf /path/to/j2re1.4.2_03/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /path/to/MozillaFirebird/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Thanks. But unfortunately I don't even a have a /path/ directory o_O.

Here's the part I'm not too sure of in the tutorial I used if someone could help me with that. Btw, I installed firebird using apt-get if that's relevant.

Quote:

1. Find the path to Mozilla executable:

which mozilla

/usr/bin/mozilla

2. Find the real path to the executable:

ls -l /usr/bin/mozilla

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 May 27 16:55 /usr/bin/mozilla ->
/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla

3. In my case, it is /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla. If yours is different, replace the following path to mozilla with the right one. Link the plug-in to mozilla's while keeping the ln in one line with a space between both plug-in's:

ln -sf
/usr/local/j2re1.4.2_03
/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
exit

Here's my output:

Code:

atheisticfaith:~# which mozilla-firebird
/usr/bin/mozilla-firebird
atheisticfaith:~# ls -l /usr/bin/mozilla-
mozilla-firebird     mozilla-thunderbird  
atheisticfaith:~# ls -l /usr/bin/mozilla-firebird 
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 Feb 15 01:35 /usr/bin/mozilla-firebird -> MozillaFirebird

Doesn't this mean I should create a plugins directory in /usr/bin and create a symbolic link there to the libjavaplugin_oji.os in /usr/local/j2r... by the name of libjavaplugin_oji.so?

Inside the directory that holds the MozillaFirebird files, there is a directory called plugins. The java file will get linked into that directory. I don't know were that is on your system.

If you type find / | grep Firebird | grep plugins as root, that should help you find the plugins directory to firebird. (that may take a couple minutes)
