>Description:
On starting mozilla, the following message appears:
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so [Cannot open "/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so"]
This is due to the lack of the Java Development kit. The port
installs the following symlink, but it doesn't check for the
existence of the library:
/bin/ln -sf /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla-devel/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
There is
no indication of why this happens, or what to do about it.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install mozilla or mozilla-devel on a clean system.
>Fix:
The problem here seems to be that the Java library needs to be
downloaded manually, due to the strange license requirements.
I'd suggest:
1. Only create the symlink if the target file
/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
actually exists.
2. If it doesn't exist, print instructions for how to install
it, and what the consequences will be if you don't.
