Hi folks,
I'm lost at finding a solution for getting the java plugin to work in Firefox 2.11 on my AMD64 system running FreeBSD 6.3.
I've upgraded my ports and the diablo-jdk version is:
pkg_info | grep diablo
diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.01_9 Java Development Kit 1.5.0_07.01
The handbook said I needed the JRE so I installed that as well:
pkg_info | grep diablo
diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.01_9 Java Development Kit 1.5.0_07.01
diablo-jre-1.5.0.07.01_9 Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0_07.01
But now I need to do this in order to see the java plugin activated when I press about:plugins:
# ln -s /usr/local/diablo-jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so \
/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/
But I don't have a plugin directory in the
/usr/local/diablo-jre1.5.0 directory, so I won't have that file libjavaplugin_oji.so either.
So what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advanced,
Dino
