Java Plugins and Firefox (Solved)

[Raymond Lillard]

Thanks Brendon and Michael for your accurate responses.  In my case
they sort of helped guide me to the solution.  You responses would
have been spot on I'm sure if I had not omitted a critical piece
of information.

The new machine is an AMD x86_64 machine.  My laptop is an Intel
M60 x86 machine.  I was trying to get an application built for
the x86_64 architecture to dynamically link to a x86 library.

The light bulb came on when I ran Firefox under strace.

The solution was to install the package:

	j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin

I installed it with the Synaptic tool, make the symlink by
hand and all is well.

There doesn't appear to be a Java 1.5 plugin for x86_64, but
1.4 one will do.

Thanks again,
Ray
