Or have I misunderstood -- has anyone managed to > get firebird to run java on the powerpc yet? Well I have mozilla-firebird running with java 1.3.1 now. All you need to do is to add a symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla-firebird/plugins/, e.g.: cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firebird/plugins/ ln -s /etc/alternatives/javaplugin_oji.so . > Mozilla, on the other hand, ought to work -- but Im still getting the > same error I did earlier: > LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library > /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/plugin/ppc/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so > [/usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/plugin/ppc/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so: undefined > symbol: __pure_virtual] that means you still don't use a gcc-3.x compiled java... Maybe you try to uninstall java first and then install the new packages again... Soeren.
