No Java In Slack 9

[StupidDrivers]

I have tried every which way I can think of to get java to work on this machine. It is as follows:

Pentium III 866MHZ
128MB of RAM
Slackware 9.0 Kernel 2.4.20
KDE 3.1
Netscape 7.1
JDK and JRE 1.2.2

Now, I have scoured the board as well as the help files, and found numerous resources describing how to get it to work.....link to here.....run this there.....nothing makes a difference. I even went to plugins.netscape.com and let it install it. Nope, just crashed the browser. I run it out of a console, and this is the error I get. Any help is greatly appriciated.

I downloaded Java VM from java.sun.com using the Linux manual install option, unzipped it, and used the install script to install it to the directory (wherever you unzip it will be the install directory)

Once done, you have to create a soft link to the file <installdir>/j2re1.4.1_03/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so in the /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/ directory

Here's the command I used, substitute <installdir> for yours:
ln -s <installdir>/j2re1.4.1_03/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/

That should do it for you; you have to restart Netscape if you had it running, but that's it.

Hope this helps...

I had the same problem. I fixed my problem by going to:

http://wp.netscape.com/plugins/search_pi.html?cp=plp

then:
click on the platforms and choose:
Linux

then:
click on All MIME types and choose:
application/x-java-applet
application/x-java-bean
application/x-java-vm

It will be automatic updates, just follow the directions. Once youve gotton what you need, close
browser, and try it out.

I hope this is what you needed... If not sorry...
