Well, the plugin interface to Mozilla is working. Java still is not. I see java in about plugins in the browser. Running java -version still complains that it cannot find the jvm. I get the message: JVM not found libjvm.s0 - libjvm.so
Doing a locate on it I see that there are two, one under the classic directory and another under the j9vm directory. This is in the documentation. However, why doesn't the java command see it? I did step 1 from below. I forgot step 2, but when I ran update-alternatives it told me there was only one alternative: /usr/lib/j2re1.5-ibm/jre/bin/java nothing to configure. For step 3, I updated the .profile for the root account and the .bash_profile for my user account. I'm not sure where the default PATH is set from. I tried your step 4 command and got an error. I used the command documented at IBM: set default to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and run ln -s /usr/lib/j2re1.5-ibm/jre/bin/libjavaplugin_oji.so Since the browser sees the plugins I assume this is correct. So, for step 5 I guess I'll try what was suggested: install java 1.5 from the tarball, i.e. dpkg -r ibm-j2re1.5 command(?) ibm-java2-jre-50-linux-ppc.tgz I guess I could also try the SDK. The files in the jre archive have a date of 24 January 2006. Perhaps IBM left something out like they did with the 1.4 archives!!!
