Mine works with: Redhat 5.1, Netscape 4.06, Blackdown JDK 1.1.6(v3),
java Plugin 1.1, version unknown - about 3 weeks old - I think it did
not change for a while. I installed it as root under /usr/local - not
sure if that makes any difference.
Installation instructions are attached.

There's always something magic: Java, Linux, Solaris
Title: Runtime Plug-in for Linux, Java(tm) Edition
Runtime Plug-in for Linux, JavaTM Edition
Versions
The Runtime-plugin for Linux is available on both glibc and libc5 platforms.
The following configurations are absolutely neccessary:
glibc
Steve Byrne's 1.1.5v5 glibc port of the jdk (jdk1.1.5v5-980311.tar.gz)
libc-2.0.6.so
libdl-2.0.6.so
ld-2.0.6
The output of 'java -version' should return "cls:03/11/11-08:49"
n
libc5
Steve Byrne's 1.1.5v6 libc5 port of the jdk (jdk1.1.5.tar.gz)
libc.so.5.4.44 or greater
libm.so.5.0.9 or greater
libdl.so.1.8.5 or greater
The output of 'java -version' should return "Linux_JDK_1.1.5_v6"
Environment Variables
ACTIVATOR_TRACE
The variable ACTIVATOR_TRACE controls whether a verbose trace should
be produced. If it is simply set, then the trace output will go to
through standard Netscape stderr. If it is set to a non-empty value,
the plugin will attempt to create a file $ACTIVATOR_TRACE and will
store a copy of the diagnostics output there.
Installation
Installation of the plugin involves executing the package that suits your
configuration. For example:
chmod +x activator-linux-libc5
./activator-linux-libc5
By default, the plugin is installed in user's home directory. It is
also possible to install a single shared copy of the Java Plug-in. You
need to set up a shared directory "foo" to have both a plugins
sub-directory and javaplugin sub-directory.
foo/plugins
foo/javaplugin
Start by doing a normal install of the plugin, and then move the files
to the shared directory. Specifically, move the files from
~/.netscape/javaplugin to foo/javaplugin and from
~/.netscape/plugins/javaplugin.so to foo/plugins/javaplugin.so.
For each user using the shared install, make sure that they have
foo/plugins on their Netscape NPX_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable
when they run Netscape.
NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/local/foo/plugins:/some/other/directory;
export NPX_PLUGIN_PATH
