Is bug present in RC2?

Try to link to .../plugin/sparc/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji140.so, instead of
.../ns610/..., and it should work.
ns600 is gcc compiled, whereas ns610 is forte. If the brower is gcc compiled,
then ns600 should be used. Moz099 is an exception. Somehow, maybe due to some
changes in the branch, it only works with ns610, the forte compiled version.

This may be a duplicate of 144467.

In fact, the installation of JPI is already failed.

"ln -s ../java/plugin/sparc/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so  libjavaplugin_oji.so"
is not better than the following way to install JPI:
"./run-mozilla.sh ./regxpcom ../java/plugin/sparc/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so"

I heared that report have tried second way but the same error happened:
  error messages:"Bus Error - core dumped"

So this bug maybe happened when register components or relate with runtime
environment (JPI haven't been installed correctly yet)

Even though you only run
"./run-mozilla.sh ./regxpcom"
the "Bus Error - core dumped" also happened!

If I setup link under the directory plugins instead of components,RC1 and RC2
work well(no crach)

cd mozilla/plugins
ln -s .../../ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so  libjavaplugin_oji.so(Java(TM) Plug-in
1.4.0_00-b05)

RC2 release notes said should be link under the mozilla/plugins...
but it's different way what I used be on Netscape 6.
