I am trying to create a link between Jre and Mozilla plugins directory.
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so and 
usr/java/jre1.5.0_08/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

.I specifically typed in ln -s 
usr/java/jre1.5.0._08/plugin/i386/ns7  /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so. 
I'm sure I spelled everything right because I used the tab key. But it gave 
me a link between libjavaplugin_oji.so and /opt/jre1.5.0_08/plugin/etc....
SEE BELOW, I don't even have Jre installed in /opt. What gives?
I don't like this shell as much since it doesn't list the whole directory 
names.Also libjavaplugin_oji.so flashes on & off in a red box.What does that 
indicate? Nz client is installed in /opt and the Fc5 installation notes that 
I.m refering to said to put Jre in /opt.

[jla at localhost mozilla]$ cd plugins/
[jla at localhost plugins]$ ls
libjavaplugin_oji.so  nphelix.so  nphelix.xpt
[jla at localhost plugins]$ ls -l
total 60
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    53 Sep 16 21:20 libjavaplugin_oji.so 
-> /opt/jre1.5.0_08/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 40644 Feb 13  2006 nphelix.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  5086 Feb 13  2006 nphelix.x

[jla at localhost ns7]$ pwd
/usr/java/jre1.5.0_08/plugin/i386/ns7
[jla at localhost ns7]$ 

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so  
usr/java/jre1.5.0_08/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

I have the two different directories with the same plugin.
The article said something about using the Firefox directory if you had 
trouble with the Mozilla but Firefox doesn't have a ns7/ libjavaplugin_oji.so 
plugin.

If you don't use a leading slash, it is a relative link. That means you
created /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so as a link to
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/usr/java/jre1.5.0._08/plugin/i386/ns7, which
doesn't exist, and is therefore blinking red.

Once again, libjavaplugin_oji.so is 100% irrelevant to the NZ client.

Where? I did not see that on the page to which both Rick and I linked.

That's why it said to put a link to the plugin there.

PS-I apologize for getting impatient with my replies, but I am only
answering your questions as you ask them. I am not the endless fountain of
patience that would be required to completely disregard your questions and
instead tell you everything you should do instead of what you are doing.
Sure, teaching someone to fish is superior to giving them a fish, but one
must first possess the talent to be able to teach such a thing. I am sorry
to be running rather low on that talent at the moment.
