The hints I did find (based on Linux instructions) says to symlink libjavaplugin_oji.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins or the global plugins directory at /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins/ The first option had no effect. The second option works to the point that the JVM is either started or almost started, based on the disk/cpu activity when trying to run the first applet in a session. However all applets fail ("not inited") for reasons I have not been able to determine. So: * What could I do in order to see what's going on? (I.e. where can I find potential error output?) * Am I doing the 'installation' correctly - i.e., just symlinking the appropriate library? This is using the native JDK 1.4.2-p5 and Mozilla 1.6 (native).
