I had the same problem with mozilla 0.9.3 on Debian Woody System. Looking at the java-plugin with ldd showed: root@whatever(1):/opt# ldd /opt/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so libnspr4.so => not found libgtk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0 (0x4004d000) libgdk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk-1.2.so.0 (0x40173000) libgmodule-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmodule-1.2.so.0 (0x401a7000) libglib-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0 (0x401aa000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x401cd000) libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 => /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 (0x401db000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4021d000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4023f000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40356000) libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x4035a000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40362000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) Because I installed mozilla to /opt/mozilla I added /opt/mozilla to /etc/ld.so.conf and started ldconfig. Now ldd shows: root@whatever(1):/opt/mozilla# ldd plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so libnspr4.so => /opt/mozilla/libnspr4.so (0x4004d000) [...] and java works just fine. Klaus

Can not reproduce this bug. I have no problem using JRE1.3.1 with Mozilla 0.9.3 in Redhat 7.1 machine. All I did is to remove Mozilla 0.7 comes with Redhat 7.1 and installed a fresh Mozilla 0.9.3, after that install JRE1.3.1, go to mozilla plugins directory and link to the correct plugin. Run ldd libjavaplugin_oji.so and it gave me the same result as shown above.
I can confirm this problem on RedHat 7.1 with RPM and installer builds of mozilla-0.9.3 I tried various tricks I gleaned from searching for this bug. There seem to be many duplicate and semi-related bugs in OJI and Install that have the same end result as I am experiencing. I have tried the 0.9.3 RPMs from www.mozilla.org. I have tried the 0.9.3 Talkback builds (via installer) I have tried various soft-links and JDK/plugin installations. I have not tried to compile non-debug build which seemed to work for a few people on another related bug. Is this my last/only option?
Did you get the libjavaplugin_oji.so file after you get the JRE. If you have the file, type ldd libjavaplugin_oji.so and post your result here. Thank you!

I tweaked the ld.so.conf to include the mozilla install directory, and now ldd libjavaplugin_oji.so returns: libnspr4.so => /home/probe/mozilla0.9.3/dist/bin/libnspr4.so (0x4004a000) libgtk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0 (0x4008a000) libgdk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk-1.2.so.0 (0x401be000) libgmodule-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmodule-1.2.so.0 (0x401f2000) libglib-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0 (0x401f6000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40218000) libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 => /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 (0x40226000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40268000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40287000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x403a8000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x403be000) libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x403c1000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x403ca000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaaa000) Still no java though. Mozilla 0.9.2 is working fine, and since I changed ld.so.conf it's now using libnspr4.so from 0.9.3, with no problem.
It works for me fine for MOZILLA_0_9_3_BRANCH and for Sun jre1.3.1. To tbair@blue.weeg.uiowa.edu: the path you mentioned looks starnge for me -- /usr/local/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so the strange thing is 'mozilla'. I downloaded jdk1.3.1 from java.sun.com and then set it up. The path to plugin was: jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so. The question is: how did you downloaded jdk1.3.1 ? And the another question: did you see the same problem if you download and build Mozilla from scratch. I mean if you didn't have preinstalled nspr ?
Sergey: I have used the downloaded JDK1.3.1 from sun and also the oji that comes from the "Plugin Not Found/Download" process, both with no success. Not sure if this info will help, but I am using Redhat7.1 with all the newest Ximian RPM's. Their ORBit server has a libIDL which is newer than the one on mozilla.org. [ BTW: i tried building from a source tarball but didn't get very far... even after installing ORBit-devel, XFree86-devel I had problems finishing the build, which takes FOREVER! ]
I am also unable to run Java. Started with a completely new, stock install of RedHat 7.1. Removed existing Mozilla components (base, psm, mail) and upgraded to "milestone" Mozilla 0.9.3-1. Downloading the Java plugin (from Netscape) when offered completes OK but Mozilla hangs on the restart - renaming xpicleanup allows it to continue - but Java does not seem to run. Also, started over with new/fresh install of RedHat 7.1 and tried installing Java2 SDK v1.3.1 from www.sun.com. Set up symbolic link, and still no java ... I am a newbie, but will try to collect any other useful info that is requested.
I'm also seeing this. Is it possible that using a Ximian GNOME distribution could be a factor? I have libraries listed in ldd from Ximian RPMs gtk+-1.2.10-ximian.10 and glib-1.2.10-ximian.2.

This problem occurs for me using redhat 7.1 with the updates from redcarpet. For me its not cause by ld.so.conf, because mozilla is installed under /usr/lib/mozilla. These are possible packages of interest that I have installed.. gtk+-1.2.10-ximian.10 glib-1.2.10-ximian.2 mozilla-0.9.3-1 glibc-2.2.2-10 I installed the plugin via a symbolic link using the sun instructions, after downloading jdk1.3.1 Another thing I've noted is after verifying the rpm, I get 1 problem found... .M...... /usr/lib/mozilla/component.reg btw Is there any chance that this will be fixed if the bug is unassigned.
I cannot reproduce that on RH 6.2 with mozilla 0.93 and trunk (java 1.3.1) One of comments on bug 82641 suggests to set env. variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 for RH 7 Also, what do you mean by 'no java'? Does mozilla prompts you to install java plugin or browser just hangs/whatever?
Reply to Denis, I believe (but could be mistaken) that I tried all of the suggestions I found in various release notes - including the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL suggestion. I will go back and specifically test this if necessary. My suspicion is that the JAVA problem is specifically related to RedHat 7.1 - can you try this version ? I can not speak for the others, but in my case, by "no java" I meant that visiting a site requiring Java would once again offer to go out and refetch the Java Pluggin rather than displaying the web page content. Thanks for your interest.
This is not RedHat specific, or even Linux specific, I have the exact same problem on an UltraSPARC 10 with Solaris 8 and Solaris 7.
After I installed XFree86-devel libraries java plugin started to work. Apparently this is a bug since java is supposed to work without development libraries.
Does anybody tried to run standalone java? I have no problems running java plugin on Ultra 10 with Solaris 8 or on RedHat system. Of course, I can run java itself :-) To be able to run, java may need some patches (solaris) and/or libraries.
I use Red Hat 7.0, but with the 2.4.9 kernel. No Java means that Mozilla acts as if a Java interpreter was never installed, prompting the user to download the Java plug-in when an applet is found. Also, in the about:plugins page, the Java plug-in is not listed.
Yes, Java works like it should, I can even use the 4.xx plugin with Netscape 4.78 on the same computer. It's only Mozilla that has problems as far as I can tell.

Still no Java in 0.9.4. This new version does, however, print this when I start it: LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/java/jdk1.3.0_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so [/usr/java/jdk1.3.0_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: __vt_17nsGetServiceByCID] after which it continues to start. None of the older versions reported any errors.
Has anyone looked at bug 96910 ? Seems like it's related to this one.
I am also having trouble with java on mozilla 0.94+ build 2001091606 on linux. I have tried the j2re-1_4_0-beta2-linux-i386.bin from sun which expands to give three plugins: j2re1.4.0/plugin/i386/ns4/javaplugin140.so j2re1.4.0/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji140.so j2re1.4.0/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji140.so I tried to get mozilla to work by creating symbolic links to the ns600 and ns610 versions but neither worked: not shown in about:plugins and asks to install plugin for java pages. I also tried to get it to work by copying the previous JRE1.3 version (installed by mozilla automatic plugin downloader thing). This partially worked as it was displayed in about:plugins however the browser crashes on every java required page.
Ok, i got java working now with 0.94+ build with the jre1.3.1_01 from the sun site. Created symbolic link: libjavaplugin_oji.so -> jre1.3.1_01/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so or using linux java plugin auto install: libjavaplugin_oji.so -> java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so However I have found some very strange behaviour... Start mozilla Goto: about:plugins Check that jre1.3 plugin is showing Goto: java.sun.com (or any site needing java) Result: Crashes with seg fault ****** OR start mozilla Goto: java.sun.com (or any site needing java) Result: Java applet loads correctly Goto: about:plugins JRE1.3 plugin is listed (but at the bottom of this list now) No seg faults. I have repeated this many times with both the above plugins and it is very consistant. Why does opening about:plugins before loading jre cause crashes?
Sorry two problems here: I don't know why the j2re-1_4_0-beta2 jre was not loaded by 0.94+ but the seg faulting after viewing about:plugins is due to bug 99950 and affects all plugins, not just java. It's working fine with jre1.3.

I have also been successful using JRE 1.3.1_01 and Mozilla 0.9.4-2 !

Still not working in 0.9.5. This time using the precompiled binaries, rather than building from tarball source. Will be happy to assist, just tell me what to try. This is a BIG issue for me, I am still using 0.9.2 for my daily needs because of this bug.
Suddenly, it's working for me. I haven't got the faintest idea why... i just created the symlink to /usr/java/jdk1.3.0_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so like I always did before. All Java related stuff works perfectly like it should... oh well. Will still be happy to help out with this bug, though. Please tell me how I can be of any assistance.
I sove this problem as follows: 1. I install Red Hat Linux 7.1 with GNOME only. 2. I install blackdown version of j2sdk1.3.1 3. Installed mozilla-0.9.3 RPM 3. Made a soft link as follows: # ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins 4. Installed XFree86-devel RPM 5. vi /etc/ld.so.conf 6. added "/usr/lib/mozilla" at the end of the file. 7. and finaly use the ldd comand as follows # ldd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/javaplugin_oji.so 8. Reboot my system Now every thing seems to work fine.
So is this a linker issue? This bug is very frustrating. The java plugin still doesn't show up in about:plugins for me. I helped my coworker install Solaris 8 on an ultrasparc, and guess what -- the plugin shows up on his machine. We're both using the same OS (Solaris 8), the same hardware (Sun Ultra 10), the same java plugin (from j2sdk1.3.1), and the same Mozilla (0.9.5 and various nightlies). Argh.
What does ./run-mozilla.sh /usr/bin/ldd -r plugins/lib*oji*so says?
Is this problem still reproducible with 0.9.5+ builds? Please confirm and clarify symptoms.

My bad, the Java plugin actually worked now with Build 2001111210. I installed a new java sdk a while back and I forgot to update the link in Mozilla's plugin directory... Hard to tell when the problem disappeared :/ OT: just spotted a little icon in the tab. Nice! How did we ever survive without tabbed mode?
Great. In fact you ldd output is the same as mine and plugin is working for me. Anyway, if noone will be able to reproduce these problems anymore then i suggest to close this bug as worksforme
