From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020205 Description of problem: Despite java being properly available (soft link in the plugins directory), it was not detected by 0.9.8-2 Using 0.9.8 directly from mozilla.org worked however. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install mozilla 0.9.8-2 2. Go to java web-site and let the java plugin install automatically 3. Restart mozilla Actual Results: Java is not available - when going to a site requiring java it goes through the install procedure again (and again, etc). Expected Results: java should be available after first install Additional info: 0.9.8 direct from mozilla works fine. There is the soft link from the plugins directory to the java lib. Java was installed from jre-1.3.1_02.i386.rpm and automatically from netscape (both were 1.3.1 at least). Calling /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin after manually setting up LD_LIBRARY_PATH gave a message that the plugin failed to initialisation because of a missing symbol - I have lost the record of which symbol it was, but it seemed to be associated with the libxpcom.so library.
Does this still happen with 0.9.9-x from rawhide?
I just tried 0.9.9-7 from rawhide, after manually making the link to java in the plugins directory, all seems to work properly.
