      Angry Mozilla 1.2.1+Java

      Having trouble getting java to work

      Downloaded j2re 1.3.1_09 (for RedHat 9)

      did chmod a+x and ran the rpm

      but java is not installed in Mozilla

      Anyone got a step by step (simple) guide to install this.I believe I followed Sun Java's instuctions,but.................
      On the side of the box it said "Install Windows XP or better" so I installed LINUX

      Latest Java release is 1.4.2_01.
      Works fine with Mozilla/Firebird/Konqueror..., (unlike your version), and makes the blackdown java releases obsolete.
      Give it a try. The official Sun installer "misses" putting the java directory to path (the default is /usr/java, while normally just /usr/bin is in the system path), but you can put the dir in the path manually, else you will encounter something like putting in the console " java -?" and getting the answer that java not found as an executable...

      Yes, that's right... you need to create a symlink at the mozilla /plugins folder to make java work. same applies for any other netscape-ish browser.

      You need to add the path to java in your enviroment path (bash) file. Why the Sun installer does not take are of that> don't know...

      JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_01/
      PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:/$PATH

      Add the above lines as they are to your .bashrc file.
      Of course if your java installation directory is different from the above, change the first line accordingly.
