Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0

Kernel == Linux version 2.6.10-1.741_FC3smp ([e-mail])
(gcc version 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3))

I have loaded both j2re1.4.2_06  jre1.5.0_01 and flash version 7
I have been out to the websites / boards found that I must created a symlink for
Java.  I have tried a symlink to all versions of libjavaplugin_oji.so.

I also tried cp all the different libjavaplugin_oji.so into
/usr/lib64/firefox-1.0/plugins/
But that did not work either


A locate for libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/jre1.5.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/jre1.5.0_01/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so


I ran a ldd on libjavaplugin_oji.so to check for depenencies
        linux-gate.so.1=>  (0xffffe000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xf7ee4000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xf7ee0000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xf7db6000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x56555000)

I have verified that all the libs exist and are in the /lib dir. (except for
linux-gate.so.1 which I was told will not exist because it is a virtual library,
provided by the 2.6 Linux kernel)

I checked the about:plugins inbetween trying all the above variables, but no
plugins execpt the defaults ever show.


Please let me know if I could provide you with any other information.

So you're running a 64-bit version of Firefox? If so, you'll need 64-bit
versions of the plugins too. There is no 64-bit flash player, and AFAIK there is
no 64-bit java available for Linux from Sun either.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
