Which GCC version do you see in "about:buildconfig" (as URL)
and which blackdown JRE Do you use ?

Comment 2

Actually, if
* after installing Mozilla 1.4
* I launch the previous version of Mozilla (1.3) and view "about plug-ins" (with
Java appearing in the list),
* next time I launch Mozilla 1.4, Java is properly listed in "about plug-ins"

I use Java(TM) Plug-in Blackdown-1.4.1-01 on Knoppix

java version "1.4.2"

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)

Softlink for java is set:

A total uninstall/reinstall of j2re1.4.2 and mozilla 1.4 does not solve the problem.

I have solved 'my' problem. No bug in moz, but a broken symbolic link of my
libgcc_s.so in /usr/lib (to /lib/libgcc_s.so.1).

(.../mozilla> ./mozilla
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so [libgcc_s.so.1:
cannot open shared object file: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden] )

I think there was someting serious about my gcc-3x or libgcc-3x-install.
