Re: konqueror java support fails again - suggestion
I have read somewhere about two fixes in java support. Maybe they can explain my failure to make java working in konqueror: 1. conflicts with the compiler: is kde 3.1.1 for woody compiled with gcc2.95? Java must be compiled with the same gcc version...is my blackdown j2re1.3 for woody compiled with gcc2.95? 2. In order to make blakcdown debs working with Mozilla a soft link is needed: ln -s /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins should I do something similar ?? Or should I throw away this non-GPL f** language from Sun people ?? -- saluti, Mauro On this machine no Windows system survives and LINUX POWER reigns UNLIMITED.

I remember the sun install script said it would install everything in /usr/local/ so I have simply deleted the /usr/local/j2re1.4.1/. Anyway how can I check out any other symlinks ?

If it works, it should work both from the symlink or the absolute path, it doesn't matter. It might matter if next time you upgrade, your java vm has changed location. By using an absolute path in konqui you are bypassing the debian alternatives system. The default path of java that the debian kde packages ship with works fine. This is not the source of your problem, I was just trying to be informative :-) Did you check the other java related symlinks in /etc/alternatives? I vaguely recall having problems with java a few months ago. I think at the time there were only java packages available for woody, then packages became available for sid but when I upgraded lots of stuff had moved around and the install script failed to update some of the symlinks in /etc/alternatives. I had to edit a lot of those symlinks to get things working again, mc is a godsend for this sort of stuff. Also, when you had the sun tarball installed previously did you or the install script create any symlinks outside of /usr/local? Did you clean up before installing the blackdown .debs?

konqueror java support fails again
hello all, thanks for your answers on my problem. I put in Konqueror: path to java executable: /usr/local/j2re1.4.1/bin/java and the previous error disappeared, but when trying a java application I only got :' loading applet ' and nothing more. I tried a different java machine, installing debian package j2re1.3 from blackdown, and the result is different but equally useless: I get a konqueror crash. My path to java executable is now: /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/bin/java. ciuff ciuff the little train... -- saluti, Mauro On this machine no Windows system survives and LINUX POWER reigns UNLIMITED.

With Debian you do not need to set an absolute path, java will suffice. /usr/bin/java is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/java which in turn points to the real location of your java vm. When you change/update your java vm the debian install scripts should take care of updating the symlinks in /etc/alternatives.
