[conspire] Fc5-Java-Nzclient

[John Andrews]

I'm having trouble figuiring out how to make the Nzclient work. I read the Fc5 
installation notes that you suggested and they said to install Jre-1.5.0_08 
fc5.rpm from the Sun web site. Which I did. It said put it in the /opt 
directory and make a link to the mozilla plugins.Here's what I did on the 
terminal.[jla at localhost ~]$ su
Password:
[root at localhost jla]# cd /opt
[root at localhost opt]# chmod +x *-linux-i586.bin
chmod: cannot access `*-linux-i586.bin': No such file or directory
[root at localhost opt]# ls
jre-1_5_0_08-linux-i586.rpm  nzclient
[root at localhost opt]# chmod +x *-linux-i586.rpm
[root at localhost opt]# ./*.rpm
bash: ./jre-1_5_0_08-linux-i586.rpm: cannot execute binary file
[root at localhost opt]# man rpm
Formatting page, please wait...
[root at localhost opt]# rpm -ivh jre-1_5_0_08-linux-i586.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
        package jre-1.5.0_08-fcs is already installed

In this next section I am verifying that Jre1.5.0_08  is installed 
in /usr/java/jre1.5.0_08. and there are two plugins called ns7 and ns7-gcc29.
Both are libjavaplugin_oji.so.



[jla at localhost jre1.5.0_08]$ cd plugin
[jla at localhost plugin]$ pwd

[jla at localhost plugin]$ ls
desktop  i386

What is this desktop file?

[jla at localhost plugin]$ cd desktop
[jla at localhost desktop]$ ls
sun_java.desktop  sun_java.png
[jla at localhost desktop]$ cat sun_java.desktop

These were his instructions to make the link.     

 * Type: ln 
-s /opt/jre1.5.0_08/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
(Note that by default Firefox looks in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins for its 
plugins. If you have trouble with your plugins in Firefox you could 
substitute "firefox-1.5.0.1" or your most recent firefox directory name in 
place of "mozilla" in the above command.) Hit enter. Close the terminal. 
Restart Firefox to enable the java plugin. 

This is the file for the Nz icon on the desktop.Can it be edited to work 
right? What is Path=?

I'm sort of confused at this point since it doesn't let me install another Jre 
in the /opt directory. How would you link to /usr/java/jre1.5.0_08/plugin?
