Sounds somewhat like my experience with getting things to
Just Work {TM}. Took me altogether several days to get
java, javavm, jdk,sdk, whatevertheheck to work with
l-mozilla and the flashplugin and acrobat and realplayer.
Now it works; but installing it on my laptop is more than
a chore-and-a-half. Not worth the effort. Maybe someday
I'll figure it out and put together a cookbook tutorial.
Make it my life's goal to keep it current... .
