The java plugin doesn't work under Mozilla 0.98 in my Linux box.
The plugin is downloaded and installed all right the first time one hits a
site that requires such a plugin. However, after restarting Mozilla and
visiting the same site again, when Mozilla attempts to load the plugin
from disk it complains about some unresolved symbol.

Anyone else observed this?

James probably wanted to make sure you had the latest JRE installed.
Could you please me more descript on which unresolved symbol is reported
by the application?

No, works fine on mine. Check to see if you have a link between
YOURPATH/java2_plugin/libjavaplugin_oji.so and
YOURPATH/mozilla/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
and that your user has read access to both files and directories.

Did you add the PATH for the NEW java bin?

Do you have another JAVA (like kaffe) installed as /usr/bin/java?

If you run the command;

$ java -version

--or--

$ which java

you will know which java is getting called.

Also, if you use the new JDK 1.4 version, try the 6.0 instead of 6.2
(I heard, have not tested though).

I have Mozilla 0.98 with Sun JDK 1.3.1_02 and the plugin works great.

You are correct, except the plugin and sym link may be owned by root or
bin.

Well, thanks for your suggestions everybody, but that is not it. The
plugin is located all right. The problem is the unresolved symbol in the
plugin itself when mozilla tries and load it.

As far as I can see, there is no plugin available for 6.0. There is no
subdirectory named "plugins":

pub/netscape6/english/6.0/unix/linux22/plugins

this directory does not exist at ftp.netscape.com. There is an "xpi"
subdirectory but not "plugins". Same is true for 6.2.1.

I'm having a similar problem. I'm using j2re1.4.0. The plugin fails to
install:

Java 2 Plug-in for Linux: Download was unsuccessful. Please try again.
The Java Plug-in is 7.6Mb and will take you 37 minutes to fully download
with a 28.8 modem or 19 minutes with a 56K modem. Alternatively, you can
download this plug-in directly from our FTP site at
ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape6/english/6.0/windows/win32/smartu...

have problems. Error encountered -- -210

I could not find any specific directions for Linux.

Help About Plugins in Mozilla shows many other plugins installed, but
not the java plugin.

These versions works well with Mozilla and Gaelon.

Actually, you just need to make a symbolic link to mozilla plugins.

For Mozilla and Gaelon (check that these directories exist, or adjust for your system)

$ ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji140.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji140.so

As for Netscape 4.7x (check that these directories exist, or adjust for your system)

$ export NPX_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns4:/usr/lib/netscape/plugins:$HOME/.netscape/plugins"

absolutely!

all the packages are in the xpi directories. You would want jre.xpi
(Java Runtime Environment)

The URLs from James would probably work too, but the .xpi file would do
it more automagically.

I also had a little trouble installing the java plugin for Mozilla,
getting that exact message you did when I downloaded it as a non-root
user. I logged in as root and downloaded the plugin from the sun site
and it installed and worked without a hitch.

Best regards,
David
