Skooter, you need to use the -s option (symbolic links) in the ln command.

Command syntax to create a symbolic link:
ln -s TARGET LINK_NAME

so if your TARGET (file you want to create a link to) is:
/home/dennis/jre1.5.0_05/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

and your LINK_NAME (name of the link you want to create) is:

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

you would type:

ln -s
home/dennis/jre1.5.0_05/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so


Tip---
If you have mozilla install do: help --> About Plugins
and it will list all plugins installed.
