It's working!
There must be a bug in the java-package 0.27 for the TESTING
release. Java works fine when I extract from the tarball.
Now, I need to find out if this has been reported and log a bug-
report if needed. I'll check unsupported first.

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!!!
Not as close as I throught,

Perhaps I can set up a link to /opt? I'm new to

the documentation confusing. I see that Wolfgang
also has it
installed in /usr/lib so maybe I just need to set
up $PATH correctly
and use the ln command Wolfgang provided.
1:
Build the deb package. Something along the line of:
fakeroot make-jpkg --full-name "Your name" --email
[EMAIL PROTECTED] --changes ibm-java2-sdk-50-linux-ppc.tgz
2:
run
update-alternatives --config java
choose
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-ibm/bin/java
3:
change your $PATH, please see my previous message in
this thread
4:
build the links to your browser dirs. Also please
check my precious
message to do that ...
5:
I hope I didn't forget anything ... :)
Sorry for being a bit non-verbose ... there's a
movie on the telly
... :)
