Konqeror continues to function correctly. Even though I have lost the java plugins under Mozilla and Galeon. Looking again at what you wrote originally, I get the same output as you for the command ll /usr/bin/java However, it looks to me as though it has not been added to the path, since what I get from the next command is: [root@anne-linux anne]# echo $PATH /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin [root@anne-linux anne]# When I installed jre before, according to my notes I had to put a shell script into etc/profile.d, which defined the Java_Home variable, export it, add $Java_Home/bin to the path, and export that. Do I need to do anything like that? I'm convinced that Java must be working OK, or Konq couldn't be using it (unless that is still finding the old install), so my guess is that the problem is either links or paths. Can you or anyone help, please? Anne
