Thanks to hal for the try but the issue ended up being a link in the
mozilla home dir.
For you list searchers of the future:
environment:
RedHat 6.2
most if not all errata updates
mozilla 0.8 talkback binary
mozilla nightly from 20010224
mozilla installed in user's home dir ( suspect this will work in /usr
also)
Issue: no jre (java plugin) registerd after install no flash pluging
after install
no working Flash plugin after placing so and clas in the
mozilla/plugins dir
Searching bugzilla.mozilla.org, I found the following worked for me
Solution:
after making sure the link in mozilla/plugins/
libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
../plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
was created by the jre.xpi during install, I then had to manually create
a link in mozilla/ libXt.so -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6
an viola java and flash. There are several related bugs in bugzilla.
My guess is that it may be a configuration issue with certain distros
but at least there is a work around.
mozilla seems to work pretty darn well BTW.
HTH sombody,
Bret
