Dear Jmol users,

To conclude. thanks to all.

Help about installing the Java Runtime Environment (JRE from Sun)
on 64 bits RedHat-based Linux (CentOS 5.4 & Fedora 12) distributions

Opera 10.11, Firefox 3.5.11 and Chrome 5.0.375.125 under linux are  
used with Java applets to display molecular structures, charge values,  
atom names, force field atom types and molecular electrostatic  
potentials within Jmol.

Remove OpenJDK if installed:
rpm -e java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin
rpm -e java-1.6.0-openjdk

Install the 64 bits version of Java ("jre-6u21-linux-amd64.rpm" is  
installed on our machines):
rpm -ivh jre-6u21-linux-amd64.rpm
rpm -ivh jre-6u21-linux-i586.rpm for 32 bits systems.

=> JRE is installed @ /usr/java/jre1.6.0_21
rpm -q jre   provides "jre-1.6.0_21-fcs.x86_64"   (and  
"jre-1.6.0_21-fcs.i586" for 32 bits systems)
rpm -q --filesbypkg jre   provides more information.

On some other Linux distributions the path to the JRE installation  
might be /opt/java/jre-1.6...

In Opera Tools/Preferences.../Advanced/Content
     Toggle on "Enable Java"
     Java options:
         Validate Java Path: /usr/java/jre1.6.0_21/lib/amd64 and  
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_21/plugin/i386 for 32 bits systems.

In Firefox Edit/Preferences/Content
     Toggle on "Enable Java"

For Firefox & Chrome, create the following link (being "root"):
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_21/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so  
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_21/lib/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so  
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so for 32 bits systems.

Always restart your browser after installing JRE.

You can now test if JRE is well configured for the Browser you are  
currently using by clicking here.

The Java applets written for Jmol are displayed by Opera, Firefox &  
Chrome. Click here to look at an example.

Remark: Opera 10.11 does not display the Jmol applets correctly under  
Fedora 12, while it works under CentOS 5.4. Upgrading to Opera 11.60  
solved the problem.
