Does "about:plugins" show Java? First off, this is one of those areas where tapping the sun-java-compat packages (from JPackage's Non-Free repo) helps tremendously to solve the missing /etc/alternatives and other links required, including the browser links/files in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, that Sun doesn't package. ;) Alternatively, consider the OpenJDK packages, as it is packaged correctly. ;) Secondly, Sun's 64-bit JRE lacked the plug-in until only more recently. This has always been a continuing issue. I haven't checked if the 1.6.0_18 package includes it (it should, I thought they released it). -- Bryan J Smith Senior Consultant Red Hat, Inc Professional Consulting http://www.redhat.com/consulting mailto:[email protected] +1 (407) 489-7013 (Mobile) mailto:[email protected] (Blackberry/Red Hat-External) -------------------------------------------------------- You already know Red Hat as the entity dedicated to 100% no-IP-strings-attached, community software development.
