Well it was just nagging me, and for anyone who runs into this problem here’s the solution (to the ever moving Firefox path problem)
cd /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/plugins
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Assuming you already had the sun-java packages (anyway if not just get it).
i installed jre n jdk using command…
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin
on firefox 3.0.4 on ubuntu 8.10
corrected path problem too…
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.10/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
……….BUT STILL FIREFOX SAYS……JRE IS NOT INSTALLED
/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/plugins/
Ah yes, you didn’t catch the exact path which is the trick 🙂
It is /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/plugins/ NOT /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
Well the Firefox 3.0.5 upgrade didn’t seem to have broken this time around 🙂
Java still works great 🙂
