I like debian. But there's is a big lack today in potato : no free www browser (I mean open-source and not buggy : ie not netscape) with java and ssl support. But it's a pity because mozilla is out with all required stuff. But we are still (in potato) with the M18-3 release. Today the 0.7 is out. This release contains for the first time ssl support. Java is also available via blackdown (should this java considered as free ?).
So I've add the j2re1.3 deb package and downloaded the mozilla binaries tarball. Normally to enable java in this mozilla release you only need to add a link between /usr/lib/j2re1.3/plugin/i386/javaplugin.so and (path to mozilla)/plugin/javaplugin.so. But then when I start mozilla I obtain: INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not load /usr/lib/j2re1.3/plugin/i386/libjavaplugin_oji.so: linking error=/usr/lib/j2re1.3/plugin/i386/libjavaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: gdk_input_add I use a daily snapshot of mozilla so I've tested that with the official 0.7 release and I got the same result so I think it could be a dependancy problem. Should I install others packages (dev packages ?). Christophe
