From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120
BuildID:    2001112012

Mozilla 0.9.6 canot be started after placing symbolic link 
"libjavaplugin_oji.so" to 
/usr/java/.../j2re1.4.0/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji140.so in
.../mozilla/plugins. The feedback agent is started instead.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.create symbolic link to jdk1.4.0 beta3 oji
2.start mozilla-script
3.

Actual Results:  Mozilla browser not shown on the screen. Instead feedback agent
starts.

Expected Results:  start

j2sdk-Version: 1.4.0 Beta 3
Have you submitted any talkback reports?  If so, could you list the IDs here?

Also, are you spoofing your useragent by any chance?
The proper method for installing the 1.4 JRE on Linux is to link it to the
/components folder, or run regxpcom on it.

Please try to make symlink not to ./dist/bin/plugins
but to ./dist/bin/components.

Please close as dupe of 109033 if above helps.
Putting the link to jre 1.4.0 into mozilla/components has no effect. I just
re-installed jre 1.3.1 according to the installing instructions and am now
waiting for the final version of jre 1.4.0.
What do you mean "has no effect"? mozilla does not start?
java plugin is not found? 
Does removal of the link helps to get mozilla to start again?
Did you try to remove/rename ~/.mozilla ?


"No effect" means that the plugin is not recognized. And it remains unrecognized
after deleting ~/.mozilla.
Ok, so i assume mozilla with link to OJI lib from components starts normally
but applets do not work.

What does about:plugins page say?
Does it mention java plugin?

Is there any suspicious output when you start mozilla from command line?


It is true that mozilla starts normally with a link to OJI-lib placed in
components, but is that link processed at all? I have some doubts especially
because of the dialog box with the request to download an appropriate java
plugin the browser displays every time it has to start a java applet.

The about:plugins page shows only the default plugin
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libnullplugin.so. No java plugin is mentioned.

Starting mozilla from the command line does not produce any output.

Could the difficulties we are concerned with have to do with the fact that I
placed mozille in /usr/local instead of my home directory?

Does the browser need environment variables to find the jdk1.4.0ß3-Plugin in
mozilla/components, such as "SHLIB_PATH", "MOZILLA_DIR", "LD_LIBRARY_PATH",
"ADDON_PATH", or "LIBPATH"? If yes, we have found the error because KDE sets
them by default to /opt/mozilla or /opt/mozilla/components, respectively,
whereas mozilla is placed acually in /usr/local/mozilla.

When I tried the method suggested, I get the following error:

[root@samba mozilla]# ./run-mozilla.sh ./regxpcom

When the browser starts up, it doesn't show anything related to java in
about:plugins 

I have compiled Mozilla with gcc-3.1 (CVS). The java plugin is from j2sdk 1.4.0
release candidate.

I also tried the symbolic link trick. What else should be done to fix this ?
Added myself to CC list.
kitty: I guess your problem is different and due to changed C++ mangling in 
         new gcc version (see bug 116444)


georg: Could you please try ./run-mozilla.sh ./regxpcom
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libjava*
    and 
       ./run-mozilla.sh /usr/bin/ldd /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libjava* 
    post output here?
I'm not the origional reporter, but I have the same problem, minus the crash. 
Currently I'm on a CVS build from (12-apr-2002) with all the default options.

Mozilla does not crash on startup however, merely fails to correctly load the
plugin with the undefined symbol error message.


charles: Please try to make symlink from components/ instead of plugins/.
         What is you mozilla version? Did you built it youself?
          If so then what is your gcc version?
I, too am experiencing a similar problem using a nightly build from
a couple days ago on Solaris 8 w/JDK 1.4.0.

Environment:
 Solaris 8, SunOS kathadin 5.8 Generic_108528-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60
 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020417, build

 Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)

[1] Following the suggestion to symlink libjavaplugin_oji140.so in 
the mozilla components dir, mozilla starts correctly but 
  a) visiting http://java.sun.com/ results in a prompt to download
     the plugin.
  b) choosing Help->About Plugins core dumps the browser with the 
     following backtrace (signal 9):

Is there a C++ compiler mismatch going on here?

I've been getting this bug for a couple of months now with j2sdk1.4.  I was
hoping that it would go away, but it hasn't, most recently segfaulting Linux
nightly 2002052507.

I stick it in the following place:
ln -s $JAVA_HOME/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji140.so
mozilla/components/libjavaplugin_oji140.so

I've also tried it with the ns600 plugin.  The segfault is:
/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh: line 72: 16570 Segmentation fault   
  $prog ${1+"$@"}

I'm using Redhat Linux 7.3
I ran into this bug on Mozilla 1.1 running on Solaris 9 with J2SE1.4. The trick
of renaming ~/.mozilla/plugins to ~/.mozilla/components worked in that Mozilla
stopped crashing, but the Java plug-in itself did not register in the
about:plugins page.

I can add two more pieces of information:

* I tested that plugins are working in general by installing and testing the
Flash 5 plugin. It registers in the about:plugins page and viewing test pages
works fine. BTW, both ~/.mozilla/plugins and ~/.mozilla/components work for the
Flash 5 plugin.

* I tried different JRE versions (1.4 and 1.3.1) and different versions of the
libjavaplugin_oji.so shared library.
There were some history behind some problems of linking java plugin lib to
"components" directory and running regxpcom. The right way to link the java
plugin lib now is to link it to "plugins" directory. If you currently have a
link to "components", remove (or unlink it) first, then link
libjavaplugin_oji.so to "plugins". 
Just get a recent mozilla and JRE (download them from mozilla.org and
java.sun.com/j2se), then you can either go to a site using java (applet) and you
will be prompted to download JRE, or you can link JRE to "plugins" yourself.
Either way, the Java plugin should work.
