In short: "On Linux, Mozilla requires JRE 1.4.2 or later." They're talking about the x86 Linux. <http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/java.html> Details: It didn't work: Neither the IBM stuff nor the Blackdown one gave me a working Java environment for Mozilla 1.5 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031024 Debian/1.5-2) IBMJava2-JRE-141.tgz didn't work: I linked /opt/IBMJava2-141/jre/bin/libjavaplugin_oji.so to the Mozilla plugin folder, IIRC The Blackdown stuff, currently: java version "1.3.1" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.3.1-02b-FCS) Classic VM (build Blackdown-1.3.1-02b-FCS, native threads, nojit) Installed: j2re1.3 1.3.1.02b-2 Blackdown Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, St j2se-common 1.1 Common facilities for all Java2 Standard Edi java-common 0.22 Base of all Java packages There still would be a possibility to install the .bin version of the Blackdown ppc package instead of the .deb packages: But according to <ftp://sunsite.dk/mirrors/java-linux/JDK-1.3.1/ppc/FCS-02b/INSTALL-j2re> these are based on the same software, if I understand correctly. So I'll give up now. Thanks to all those, who were helping, for your time ... Best Regards, Wolfgang -- Profile, Links: http://profiles.yahoo.com/wolfgangpfeiffer
