Even though I have learned a lot, I've probably forgot much: I'm on my third install of Linux over the past two weeks. I haven't created the ibm-j2re1.5 package yet because the sarge java- package only supports ibm-j2re1.4 which does not have the javaplugin needed. I set a message to IBM

The above web site did answer some questions on how to set up a package from code you download. Is this still a valid method? There is no such plugin for PPC. If you want java functionalities in your browser, I suggest to switch to Opera: Opera does not rely on libjavaplugin_oijc.so but

Based on your feedback and another reply from Bigo, I'm convinced the IBM plugin should work in Mozilla and also Firefox. Now I am researching how to upgrade just the java-package from testing. From what I've read so far, this is documented under Keeping a Mixed System in the APT-HOWTO

Well, I did get the right version of java-package installed so I could create a .deb for the IBM java release. However, now when I run a check to test java -version, I get an error saying it cannot find the jvm. When I created j2re1.4 or j2sdk1.4 the command worked. I don't know if the

Well, the plugin interface to Mozilla is working. Java still is not. I see java in about plugins in the browser. Running java -version still complains that it cannot find the jvm. I get the message: JVM not found libjvm.s0 - libjvm.so Doing a locate on it I see that there are two, one under

It's working! There must be a bug in the java-package 0.27 for the TESTING release. Java works fine when I extract from the tarball. Now, I need to find out if this has been reported and log a bug- report if needed. I'll check unsupported first. On Mar 19, 2006, at 6:23 PM, [EMAIL
