Hello.
I need to work out how to install this manually, as it would appear that
the aptitude package is out of date. The Install Instructions have a
section for configuring JRE for Firefox, involving frigging around with
symlinks, etc, etc...
Please can anyone help me with:
1. How do I deinstall the plugin???
(is running "aptitude remove java-gcj-compat-plugin" the recommended
course of action???)
Yes.
2. Are there any gotchas with the manual install of JRE 6???
TIA, fcG.
I had to create a few symlinks for java to work. For the plugin, you
want to create a symlink in ~/.mozilla/plugins/ to one of the plugin
binaries in the Java plugins directory. For example, if you installed
JRE to /usr/local/share/jre1.6:
cd ~/.mozilla/plugins
ln -s /usr/local/share/jre1.6/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so .
Don't necessarily follow these instructions exactly. There are two java
plugins in the Sun java package, but only one will be appropriate for
your system. Examine /usr/local/share/jre1.6/plugin.
Symlinks in /usr/local/bin for java and javaws might also benefit you
when using other programs. Good luck.
