Re: problems installing java
Heh heh ... Now I actually got it to work. The problem was the java, after all ... So I uninstalled the java I had installed from sun's website, added the following to my sources.list deb http://jopa.studentenweb.org/debian ./ Then apt-got j2re1.4; j2se as well as java-common got installed as well. Then, I went to FB's plugin-folder, /usr/lib/mozilla-firebird/plugin/, and did `ln -s usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so', restarted FB, and lo and behold --- it worked like a charm. h: Krisse tripolar wrote: having problems installing java first using apt-get or aptitude what should I install? 2) any tricks to have konqueror, mozilla, netscape find java? 3.

Might it be that sarge uses another version than sid? (Correct me if I'm wrong, but sarge is 'testing', and sid is 'unstable', right?) I'm using unstable, and thus we might be using different versions of FB, and maybe this particular bug emerged in a *later* one. --A version I may happen to be using, but you have the luck not to be. ;) This is my guess ...

Strange that it works, actually, because it *is* a bug. Firebird simply crashes; others have had the same problem. I believe they've worked out a fix for it, but ...

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately that didn't help. Firebird still crashed. I hope that it was just me being stupid, after I read your mail, but it still seems to be the case that it's a bug at work. They *have* identified some kind of bug that could have something to do with this, and fixed it, as far as I understood.

Re: problems installing java
Well ... I don't know if there's a `debian-way' that could be used, but I installed it by downloading it from the web ... From the following address, I believe: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html I use Mozilla Firebird, and there I had to put a symbolic link from a file `from java' to Mozilla Fb's plugin-folder. I think the file was '/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_02/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32'. Found out about it from a Mozilla.org page. I.e., for me it was done by ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_02/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32 /usr/lib/mozilla-firebird/ I'd imagine Mozilla and Netscape would require a similar action; probably exactly the same. I haven't got a clue about konqueror though. ;) Oh, and this shouldn't be a problem for you, since you don't use Firebird, but this particular build of FB that debian `has' right now (unstable), has a bug that doesn't allow it to show java pages. So all of this didn't do me any good, I'll have to wait until debian starts updating their 'unstable' packages again. Heh. I'd imagine Mozilla doesn't have a bug like this.

If you were using woody, things would be easy, just make your sources.list point to one of www.blackdown.org mirrors, and apt-get install j2re1.3. As you are using sid, things get trickier. Packaged browsers are compiled using current sid gcc version which is 3.2, where packaged Blackdown j2re packages are still compiled using gcc 2.95, and they simply won't work together. In this case you can download, also from one of their mirrors, the latest tarball, this compiled using the same gcc version sid features, but check out, you will have to RTFM in order to install the plug-in manually. ftp://ftp.tux.org/packages/java/JDK-1.4.1/i386/01/j2re-1.4.1-01-linux-i586-gcc3.2.bin Remember to ldd the plug-in to check if your system lacks needed libraries!
