It seems the Java plugin depends on it. What it needs is libstdc++2.9-. I don't know the full package name, so check out the package list, it should be in the oldlibs section.

Re: Java and flash plugin for Mozilla
Same here, exactly same problem. no xpicleanup process. just the file. I tried sun and netscape's java2... but no luck. It maybe a good idea for someone to make a deb so that I don't have to dig into that anymore. Just too exhausted.

I start Mozilla as root, and the Java 2 plugin > (I visit java.sun.com) seems to install fine (it says so in the > browser window). That's the reason why I didn't download java manually. It turns out, that Mozilla considers java to be a plug-in and takes it from netscape's site automagically. I wasn't able to do anything remotely useful in a browser with any of the famous java implementations neither for Netscape, Mozilla nor for StarOffice. (Java from sun's site certainly crashes StarOffice quite badly). > However, when I then close Mozilla, it is unable > to start.

There was another message today (don't remember in which list) talking about that. It seems that, just after installation, there is some similarly named process still running, which would have to be killed. But I myself also deleted just this file. > But then Java doesn't work, it prompts me again for installation > when I visit a Java site, despite some java stuff lying in > /usr/lib/mozilla-0.9.1.

It'll bring you to netscape's site. This works for me so far. -- Christoph Simon [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- ^X^C q quit :q ^C end x exit ZZ ^D ? help shit .

I start Mozilla as root, and the Java 2 plugin (I visit java.sun.com) seems to install fine (it says so in the browser window). However, when I then close Mozilla, it is unable to start.

In my case, the program seems to install normally, but just that xpicleanup.dat that causes mozilla not to start. Also, flash doesn't even work for me. Edwin Lau I'm currently running the 2001062609 nightly build which is a development version of 0.9.2. As I mentioned in my last follow-up, you might want to try running a kill -HUP on the xpicleantup process instead of deleting the file. That process is what's making mozilla think that it's still running. As to flash, how are you going about installing it? Your problem might be there.
Re: Java and flash plugin for Mozilla
Hi, Can you plz tell me which version of mozilla are you using. Mine is 0.9.1 (the latest)? In my case, the program seems to install normally, but just that xpicleanup.dat that causes mozilla not to start. Also, flash doesn't even work for me.
