I have Slack 10 installed and am unsuccessfully trying to get the java
plugin installed for Netscape 7.1. I have followed all the
instructions from all the links I can find (and each one says the same
thing), but still no luck.

Anyone successfully got this to work. Any help is appreciated.

THX

What have you tried? All I did was create a softlink to netscape home
directory. ln -s /path/of/java ~/.netscape/plugins

You are lucky. Just a day ago I went through this so I still remember ;-)
(particulars in [Very OT] thread in this group)
Anyway, as root, open mc, navigate to /usr/lib/mozilla and to a
subdirectory called /plugins.
Open it. In it you will find few links, as you highlight a link the path
is displayed on bottom of screen.
One of them points to /blah/blah/java/jre.....(that's the one you need).
Now push <tab> to take you to the other half of mc display. Here
navigate to /usr/lib/netscape and find the /plugin
subdirectory. Open it. In it will be smaller number of links.
Press <tab>, highlight the link in /mozilla/plugins, press <F5> and then
<alt>+<o> and the link will be transferred.

Soooooo simple!!!

Perhaps the OP doesn't have java turned on in the preferences.

cordially, as always,

That's exactly what I did (after installing java). The link is there,
but no go. I also had to do something for the path - can't remember
the command off hand, but it was on all the sites I found.

It is if your talking about the Netscape preferences....That was one
of the first things I checked.

That won't work as the path is wrong. Anyway, I already have a link in
my netscape/plugins directory - it just doesn't do anything.

Extremely peculiar. In my case trying to play bridge on Yahoo! games on
"virgin" Netscape invoked a cry for help that Java has to be downloaded.
So I called Mozilla to work and this call did not occur.
Looked in "Help" Plugins and there was a *big* difference, which
dissapeared after putting the stolen link in place.
I would suggest that you read the link in Mozilla, it is a whole street
directory, so if you created it from start, some typo might have gotten
in way.

1. Log in as root (not su, log in as root).
2. startx
3. open terminal window
4. cd to wherever Netscape is installed -- look for the plugins
directory, cd into plugins (this should be in /usr/lib,
/usr/local/netscape, or wherever it's installed)
5. ls -- if there is something there named 'libjava*' remove it.
6. ln -s
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
. (do *not* use a hard link, use a symbolic link -- "ln -s")
7. cd to root's home directory
8. netscape
9. click Help
10. click About Plug_ins

You should see Java on the list that displays.

In your home directory you will have a .netscape directory and it will
have a plugins directory (look for it). If you've linked
libjavaplugin_oji.os to that directory, remove that link.

Ok. After I do step 8, this is the error I get on the command line -
it's a long one....
