make sure you use ns610-gcc32.
see release notes:
http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.4/installation-extras.html#extras_java
and http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/javalinux.html

same crash experience here: Mozilla 1.7.2, j2re 1.4.2
I just checked: libgcc_s.so.1 is installed

Comment 3

[Olivier Cahagne]

olaf, are you linking the proper Java JRE ? (ns610-gcc32, not ns610-gcc29) ?

Comment 4

[Olaf]

yes, I linked ns610-gcc32. ns610-gcc29 did not exist, but ns610, and with a link
to ns610 Mozilla won't even start
