Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 198012

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[David M. Lloyd]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030313
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030313

After upgrading to 1.3 (from 1.2.1) and reinstalling the java plugin:

# ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_02/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so

The java plugin fails to initialize with this message:

$ mozilla -g
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_02/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_02/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so: undefined
symbol: GetGlobalServiceManager__16nsServiceManagerPP17nsIServiceManager]

My Linux is:
Linux tomservo 2.4.18-14 #1 Wed Sep 4 13:35:50 EDT 2002 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

It is the RedHat 8 distro.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the mozilla RH8-GTK2 RPMs.
2. Install the j2re-1_4_1_02-fcs-linux-i586.rpm RPM from SUN.
3. ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_02/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.3/plugins
4. mozilla -g
5. cry in frustration!
Actual Results:  
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_02/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_02/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so: undefined
symbol: GetGlobalServiceManager__16nsServiceManagerPP17nsIServiceManager]

and About Plug-Ins does not see it (although it does generate the error again).


Expected Results:  
no error, and be able to recognize & execute java stuff!

Works fine if your Java plugin is compiled with the same compiler as the browser.

Attachment: ldd output for mozilla-bin.

Just in case it is helpful, this is the ldd output of my mozilla-bin.

Attachment: ldd output for libjavaplugin_oji.so

Hopefully helpful ldd output for the java plugin that isn't working.

Reporter:
Please read bug 197360 (our corrent dupe target for the RPM builds).
And there is a special note in the Release notes that the RPMs are now compiled
with gcc3.2
