101780 - JRE 1.4b2 plugin fails to load (undefined symbol)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 100904

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[Reinout van Schouwen]

platform: Mandrake 8.1rc1

This problem began when I upgraded to 0.9.4, everything was fine in 0.9.3. I
don't understand why I seem to be the only one having this problem?!

output on startup:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji140.so
[/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji140.so: undefined
symbol:
GetService__16nsServiceManagerRC4nsIDRC4nsIDPP11nsISupportsP19nsIShutdownListener]
The Java plugin is not listed in about:plugins .

Reassigning because I read in other bugs that Joe Chou is the new owner of this
component.

Installing 0.9.5 on my Mandrake 8.1 box brings no solution: it segfaults
whenever theres a link to the java plugin present. Removing it solves the
problem >> critical.

I fiddled a bit with gdb. Here's the output and the backtrace, I hope it's useful!

I can confirm this problem exists with both JDK 1.4.0beta2 and the just-released
1.4.0beta3. Build ID 2001103010 (and earlier as well). The platform is a SuSE
Linux 7.2/glibc 2.2.2.

Probably should be marked as NEW since the JDK 1.3.x Java plugins I've tried all
work (some require environment tweaks).
