Don't know about error 202. As for not getting it to work, did you read thru the deep and confusing notes about which plugin you need? It's all new stuff since just a month or so ago, so i haven not yet installed this stuff. (i am still at the jre 1.4.1 level). So now you are left with the 2 versions based on gcc#, which you can check by typing about:buildconfig into your mozilla. It looks as though they both get installed, and you just have to link to the proper one. There is an rpm for java's jre 1.4.2 http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html Here's a couple pages on the random walk you go thru to figure out what to install: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Java says: "NOTE: Mozilla 1.4RC2 and later are built with gcc 3.2.3. You will need to use the gcc3 build of the Java Plugin with Mozilla 1.4RC2 or later." http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/javalinux.html says: If you're not familiar with symbolic linking, permissions and all, there are 2 ways you can do this. * Log in as root, and use the following command at a console, replacing [Mozilla Installation Directory] with the appropriate value for your installation (eg. /usr/local/mozilla): ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so [Mozilla Installation Directory]/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so * Create ~/.mozilla/plugins if it doesn't exist. Then use the following command at a console: ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so "NOTE: If you are using a gcc3 build of Mozilla (such as Mozilla 1.4 or Netscape 7.1), use the plugin in the ns610-gcc32 directory, not the ns610 directory. To check which compiler was used to build Mozilla, see about:buildconfig (Mozilla 1.4a or later)." Not sure if this helps you or not, but at least now *I* know why mozilla-firebrd handles jave for me and mozilla doesn't ! eric
