Java (JDK 5.0) Plug-in trouble Firefox 1.0 and Mozilla 1.7.3

[emarquezarreaza]

I downloaded JDK 5.0 (jdk-1_5_0_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin) and follow the instructions (java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/install-linux.html) as usual... BUT, I can't get the Plug-in to work with Firefox 1.0 and/or Mozilla 1.7.3

Here is my config:

[josue@trish ~]$ ls -ls /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
136 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 134116 Dec 7 02:52 /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

[josue@trish .mozilla]$ ls
appreg default firefox mozver.dat pluginreg.dat plugins
[josue@trish .mozilla]$ ls -ls plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 josue josue 61 Feb 4 10:40 plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so -> usr/java/jdk1.5.0_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

It all seems correct, right!? But, when I check plugins (aboutlugins) Java doesn't shows up and I keep getting "Click here to download plugin".

Thanks for the help :-)

under i386 there are various java plugins, and I don't remember which one it is, but i do not think its the ns7 one. If I remember correctly, it's ns7-something.

[emarquezarreaza]

Yeah!

[josue@trish software]$ ls /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns7
ns7/ ns7-gcc29/

Neither of them work

Well that's nice.

What did you do? Firefox won't even start now that I've followed the
java instructions.

have a look at this location: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins which is a system-wide plugins directory for mozilla. Is there an old java plugin existing? I installed jre5.0 plugin there and found no problem.
