Java-VM plug-in didn't work and was an error message of undefined symbol: __vt_17nsGetServiceByCID After doing searchs and not finding much here and reading the lengthy bug report at mozilla. I have come up with a solution that works for me. I un-installed linux-base and installed linux_base-8 I installed linux-sun-jdk-1.4.2 and made sure that I symlinked to /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so Hope I haven't left anything out, I did this a couple of weeks ago. So here is why, the linux-sun-jdk-1.4.2 contains a fix for this issue but you have to use a version of the java plugin that is built by gcc 3.2 hence the symlink to the one contained under ns610-gcc32. And I installed linux_base-8 because it had the gcc-libs that I needed for the gcc v3.2 compiled plugin to work. I suppose I could have tried to install the rpms for gcc 3.2 and libs with the standard linux_base, but didn't go for that excercise, any one else care to try? So here is a "works for me" report. I am not sure if the linux-sun-jdk-1.4 or the linux_base-8 have any caveats, but haven't noticed any problems. So may be someone could speak to those? So now my test java-vm item "works for me" www.superpages.com and going to the map based search. And I haven't noticed any more broken java-vm items when websurfing. There may be other solutions for this problem but this is what I did. Hope this helps, David
