Two more suggestions: what does "about:plugins" show? Type it into the firefox address bar. It should show you all the plugins being recognised, and mine includes Java, Acrobat. Flash etc. If it isn't showing java then *maybe* it's that firefox doesn't like the linux version of the java plugin. I'm using the native FreeBSD version (ports/java/jdk14), so maybe installing that would help. I'm supposing that for the linux version to work you would have to have linux compatibility enabled, either in your kernel or as a loadable module. (As root) what does kldload linux show? Mine is loaded and I get: # kldload linux kldload: can't load linux: File exists If you get no error, then try restarting firefox and seeing if java now works. If it does then you need to make sure that linux module gets loaded at boot time: # echo linux_load="YES" >> /boot/loader.conf --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

See if you can find the plugin shared library in the java port (IIRC, its name is libjavaplugin_oji.so) and stick that in firefox' plugin directory. HTH, Roland -- R.F.

I have /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/bin/java and it changes with the version. That is what I add in mozilla.

Firefox, java, plugins - need to go back to the port?
I installed firefox from the packages, and now that it seems like I may have Java installed, I'd like to get the two to play together. I see a few different firefox plugins in /usr/ports/www, but no java, and I don't see any references to firefox or plugs in /usr/ports/java - clearly, I'm missing a piece of the puzzle. All my hits on google have talked about rebuilding the port after Java is installed. Is that what I have to do? Is there no way to get a java plugin without rebuilding the whole port?
