JAVA no worky!

[magicfan241]

Well, I got java installed, but now it does not work.

I also had the browsers (Mozila & Firefox) download their updates. First, Firebird places all of its plugins in a folder labeled plugins, but the program looks for a folder labeled plugin. Fixed that error. Now I don't get anything, no little box that says you need a plug in, or anything. It just refuses to load.

HELP!
I'm using FC1, Firefox 0.8

Did you do the following:

* Open a terminal
* Change to your Firefox plugins directory
* Issue the following command: ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Yep!

Now I am getting the following error:

[magicfan241@localhost firefox]$ ./firefox
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /home/magicfan241/firefox/firefox/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so [libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]

The file they are pointing to is there, but it does not seem to recognise that the file exists. I also tried running it as root, but I got the same results

I am confused, and one step from going back to win98. At least that worked.

You probably have this module, but a newer version. Check in your /usr/lib directory for libstd (can be done via ls -la libstd*). Chances are, you have a .2-2 version..Create a symlink from the .2-2 version to the .1-1 version, and start firefox.

Well, I did everything you said. Here is everything I have now:

[root@localhost lib]# ls -la libstd*
 -rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root      1144368 Feb 16 12:46 libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so [I] I downloaded this file for the library{/I]
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           30 Feb 16 12:55 libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 -> libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so [I] This is the symlink I created [I]
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           18 Feb  1 17:46 libstdc++.so.5 -> libstdc++.so.5.0.5
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       739636 Oct 23 13:26 libstdc++.so.5.0.5

Well, now instead of getting the endless repeating "You need to install Java errors", I am now having all of the Java stuff dissapeared! It does not show anything.

Patience young grass hopper. The change over from Windows to Linux can be quite fustrating at first, you just have to stick with it.

[magicfan241]

Well, no I'm getting a different error:

Unable to connect to UNIX socket /tmp/.esd/socket


well, I think I'm going to find out how to bitch at the firefox people......
