Are you using the Linux-Communicator? Or the FreeBSD native one? I got it to work with the Linux-Communicator (in FreeBSD 4.2-current, haven't yet tried after upgrading to 4.3). I never got it to work with the native Netscape 4.76, Linux-Netscape6, or Mozilla 0.8x (native nor Linuxulator). > I tried > brandelf -t Linux javaplugin.so > already. I've learned a lot about paths and the Linuxulator in experimenting with this and StarOffice5.2. You want to make sure that anything that runs under the Linuxulator is NOT under /usr/local. Sure, the linux-jdk1.3.0 will run under /usr/local, but I've found that many things that want to access it will not find it there. You're better off mv-ing it to /compat/linux/usr/local (or ANYWHERE under /compat/iinux. That includes linux-communicator. I often put a ln under /usr/local for typing purposes, but the "acutal" location is best under /compat/linux. Note that links from /compat/linux/usr to /usr become circular under the Linuxulator, so you may as well not even bother. Oh, and if /home is under /usr, you may have even more trouble. I now always make sure that /home lives on a slice of its own. I don't know how much of this is useful, but perhaps something will ring a bell. Hope it helps. -- Michael Westbay Work: Beacon-IT http://www.beacon-it.co.jp/ Home: http://www.seaple.icc.ne.jp/~westbay Commentary: http://www.japanesebaseball.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
