If you need me to do something to help you understand the problem better let me
know. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch the application
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
[redmage@192 mozilla]$ ./mozilla
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/usr/local/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so
[/usr/local/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol:

_ZN16nsServiceManager23GetGlobalServiceManagerEPP17nsIServiceManager]
[redmage@192 mozilla]$


Expected Results:  
loaded the plug-in 

I suspect the install of the JRE. The JRE I'm running is 

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.1-01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.4.1-01, mixed mode)

I'm not sure if I installed it correctly
However everything else that is dependant on this java installation works as
expected e.g. Java Web Start.

-> Oji

which gcc version do you see in "about:buildconfig" (as URL) ?
if gcc 3.2 : follow the plugindoc link in about:plugins to find the correct plugin

[/usr/local/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol:
_ZN16nsServiceManager23GetGlobalServiceManagerEPP17nsIServiceManager]

This looks like you have a gcc3.2 compiled Mozilla but the JRE is compiled with
GCC2.95 (you need a gcc3.2 compiled JRE)

If comment #2 is right, this bug can be considered as invalid :

Just see here for more infos :

[Joshua Xia]

you can also build mozilla by using gcc 2.9x or use jre1.4.2 's jpi that built
by gcc3.x

same problem here with rc2.

Java Plugin worked fine with rc1. If I install rc2 (both binary from
ftp.mozilla.org under SuSE 8.2) I will get

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/opt/jre1.3.1_08/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[/opt/jre1.3.1_08/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol:
__vt_17nsGetServiceByCID]

Doesn't matter if I user Sun Java 1.3.1 or 1.4.1 or blackdown java - same problem.

Is rc2 (binary from ftp.mozilla.org) compiled with another gcc?

Comment 5

[H. Sickenberg]

Sorry, rc2 (from ftp.mozilla.org) is really build with another gcc.

So another blackdown java works fine.
