A couple of people suggested the steps described below (Edoardo and 
Charles).

It worked for me. Thanks very much, gentlemen.

 Remove the downloaded java plugin.
 
  From Sun, download thge new jdk 1.4.2 - it is mentioned in the mozilla 1.4
 rel notes. Then make a link in the mozilla/plugin directory to the
 jre/lib/plugin/ns-gcc32/libjava.so

[expert] Mozilla 1.4 can't find java plug-in

2003-07-02 Thread D. R. Evans

Hash: SHA1

I just installed Mozilla 1.4 on a stock LM 8.1 system.

The installation appeared to go fine. 

When I go to news.bbc.co.uk, I am told that I have to download a java plug-
in. I do this, and the plug-in says that it has installed correctly.

Now when I restart Mozilla, I get an error message failed to initialize 
shared library /usr.../libjavaplugin_oji.so. And when I go to the BBC web 
site, it still says that I need to load the plug-in. If I do-reinstall it, 
it again says that the installation is successful, but it still says that I 
need to download the plug-in when I return to the BBC site.

Anyone any ideas?

Mozilla 0.9.4 works fine (and continues to do so, even after I installed 
Mozilla 1.4).

  Doc

PS I keep trying to access the reflector archives at linux-mandrake.com, 
but the site has been accessible since at least yesterday afternoon.

 doubting you (well, not really) but it seems pretty bizarre that
 Mozilla happily says that everything is OK when it fact it needs a
 newer release of java than the one I have installed. (And even more
 bizarre that it requires a beta release of java instead of real
 release).

It not the release per-say that causes the issue but the version of gcc
with which the 2 were compiled.

If you will recall, or check the archives, there was a period that
mozilla and galeon Had to be compiled using gcc-2.9.6, even though the
default for the distro was 3.0 or + because 2.9.6 was the only version
supported by any of the java vendors, sun. ibm, or blackdown.
