AIX oslevel: 5100-01 Java 14 : latest available version (30.06.2003) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install mozilla by untaring the downloaded file 2.copy javaplugin.so to ./plugins 3.add the path to the java-libraries to all path defined in run-mozilla, add lines to echo the paths 4.start mozilla this gives an error message - see below 5.remove ./plugins/javaplugin.so -> mozilla works, but at pages using Java (Javamaps ...) mozilla prompts to download a plugin 6. I have tried to put libjavaplugin_oji.so at all places, where libraries are expected by default. The error remains the same. Actual Results: INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not load libjavaplugin_oji.so: linking error=A file or directory in the path name does not exist. System error?:: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. The file libjavaplugin_oji.so is present readable and executable. Expected Results: mozilla should work with Java. Even netscape 4.79 does this. May be my Java installation is not correct, however, netscape works well. Information on the expected path of libraries would be of great help. Greetings, Martin Schmidt
You have to symlink it, not copy it. It works this way with linux, so it should work the same way with AIX ?

Bug?
Well, on my linux box, I created a plugins directory in my ~/.mozilla/ folder, where I put the symlink. Is this working in your case ? By the way, Sun JRE 1.4.2 and Blackdown 1.4.1 (gcc 3.2 version) are the only working JRE with mozilla 1.4rc3 and younger.
put the symlink into mozilla/plugins
Was comment 4 in reference to me or Frederic? As you'll see above, I put the j2re1.4.2 symlink into the mozilla/plugins folder without success. Where can I find the Blackdown 1.4.1 version to try? I haven't tried it in ~/.mozilla/plugins. I've only tried it in the installed area which is /usr/local/mozilla/plugins and that doesn't work for me.

I think it was for you. Blackdown ? http://www.blackdown.org/ And if you want to download it, choose JRE built with gcc 3.2 >I haven't tried it in ~/.mozilla/plugins.

Ok, here are the results: 1) Can't get the Sun JVM plugin to work in either ~/.mozilla or ~/.mozilla/plugins. It doesn't find or attempt to load the library in either place. Do I have to redirect Mozilla to this location through an environment variable? I made sure to remove the libjavaplugin_oji.so from /usr/local/mozilla/plugins before doing this. 2) Blackdown fails because it's looking for shared libraries that Redhat 7.3 apparently doesn't have: blah:/usr/local/mozilla/plugins> mozilla LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/java/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so [libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] I'm sure I could jump through hoops to install whatever missing libraries it needs, but I'd rather not.
Hi all, This is the solution. Linking libjavaplugin_oji.so in $HOME/.mozilla/plugins helps also for AIX. I have used java14. It is called java141 by IBM but not seriously. So I think it is 140. My system is AIX 5.1 (oslevel 5100-04), did not check 4.3 and earlier versions of java. Anyway, it is a workaround and should be fixed. Developers, please, a short remark on AIX at the Webpages or in the README would be of great help. Many thanks to all suggestions and to the developers for mozilla. Martin Schmidt
