I finally able to run java.....yeeehah!. Since most of you tells me that its directory specific though I strongly think that I'm in the right directory. Here's what I did:
1. I went to my firefox directory: # cd /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.12 2. run manually my executable firefox file: # ./firefox 3. my firefox application appeared but my console gives me a series of errors that refers to java such as: - java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/java/jre1.6.0_03/lib/i386/libdeploy.so: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file - Exception in thread "SysExecutionThead" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.sun.deploy.config.Config - Exception in thread "SysExecutionThead" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.sun.deploy.config.Config - Plugin: Java VM process has died. Could not start JavaVM! 4. this site (http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.firefox/browse_thread/thread/d20452804d3801a4/f559ebe7163d3990?lnk=raot) tells me that I need to install compat-libstdc++-33. 5. so I yum install it: # yum install /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 6. closed my firefox application and run manually my firefox. checked a java based site...walah!....my java is running. "Now I know that its not only symlinks that matters in when installing Java in FC 6." I thanked everyone who helped. Now I don't need to upgrade to firefox 2. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List plug@lists.linux.org.ph (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
