Get two files from gnu-utils.dsl (rename it to gnu-utils.tar.gz) :/usr/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6 /usr/lib/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6.1 and put it in the adequate place when using another mydsl file after that do sudo ldconfig when using the firefox.dsl we must create a symlink from /"your java dir" /plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin.oji.so to /opt/firefox/plugins if you are using the version downloaded from www.mozilla.org do the same but change ns610 to ns610-gcc32 see about:buildconfig to verify the version of gcc that was used to compile tested with java 1.4.2_04 from Sun but probably it works with the other javas (hehe, the title is wrong and I cant correct) Posted by PhrozenFear on May 27 2004,16:53
The Firefox that I have says it used gcc 2.96, so using the ns610-gcc322 one wouldn't work in that regard.However, I found that if you go to a java-applet-infused website, and click on the little "Click Here to download the Plugin" link, it downloads and installs the xpi file just fine. If I knew how to install the XPI files, I'd just download and make a script for it, but I don't. =\ |
