Seasons Greetings!
We have been using Netscape 7.1 for Linux since it became available
this past summer, and have been pleased with its stability on our
FreeBSD 4.8-R systems.
Except for one thing -- we haven't been able to get Java plugin
support to work.
Our latest experiment goes like this:
Netscape 7.1:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i386; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1
Sun Java2 JRE (j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586.bin):
java version "1.4.2_03"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_03-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_03-b02, mixed mode)
Symbolic link from /pathto/Netscape7.1/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so to
/pathto/j2re1.4.2_03/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Netscape starts without complaint.
>From the Netscape menu bar:
Help -> About Plugins
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2_03-b02
File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2_03
Tools -> Web Development -> Java Console
Console messages:
**************** SERVER ERROR **************

**************** ************ **************
Netscape hangs; '^C' (interrupt) to kill hung processes.
Same thing when we do this as "root".
Same response with Mozilla 1.5 for Linux.
Can anyone comment on (a) what might be missing in our
FreeBSD/Linux emulation to make this work,
or (b) that this is known, in fact, not to work due to some
missing functionality in the Linux emulation.
Cheers!
