The following instructions are what worked for my friend in a fresh install. The last step was slightly different for my machine because I have upgraded Mozilla to version 1.5 from MandrakeClub. I had to add the symlink for that as well as the default location. Download the J2SE rpm.bin file from Sun, open a terminal in the directory it was saved to and as super user: sh j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin urpmi j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586.rpm ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03//plugin/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ In order to make this work for mine I had to add the target /usr/lib/mozilla-1.5/plugins/ I tested, and had Ed (my friend) test java function by going to this page: http://www.expertit.co.uk/support/browsertest/ with every java capable browser he had installed. They all worked, as did my Mozilla 1.5. Best of luck to you. It makes no sense why I have no trouble with java here in Mozilla and yours crashes, except for a possible bug in the _alpha_ level version of Mozilla you're running.

To answer the question you pose requires me to ask you; why? What does 1.6a have to do with the compiler version? Did you download the source code and compile Mozilla yourself using gcc32? A few more questions: You downloaded the Sun J2RE package or the J2SDK and installed it, and it works as expected everywhere except in Mozilla? Is it working in Konqueror or??? Are you sure this problem isn't just because you're running Mozilla alpha level software? You do know that 1.6 beta was released on Tuesday? Are there any java problems reported on bugzilla? http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ Since I'm running the unsupported Mozilla 1.5 from Mandrake Club I don't know what else to suggest.
