UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi, community,
I am using Karmica koala 9.10 and I wish to add to Firefox the JRE plugin.
What I have to do?
The problem arises when I try to copy from the Downloads dir the file to
/usr/java that I created. I must have the root permissions, I think.
Please help.

This tells you how to install the plugin into Firefox on Linux:
Java Plugin Install for Linux

Currently my Firefox plugins directory for Ubuntu 9.10 is:

Code:

/usr/lib/firefox-3.5.8/plugins

so presumably yours will be:

Code:

/usr/lib/firefox-3.5.3/plugins

and my java plugin symbolic links is:

Code:

libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.15/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

You could run:

Code:

# updatedb
# locate libjavaplugin_oji.so

To find where the Java plugin file is on your system.

The Java installers I have come across install themselves under your pwd so I cd to /usr and run them (as root).
