Java installation for Firefox

[pirkka]

How can I make the Java installation? I have performed following steps:
- I have downloaded the JRE 1.5
- then copied under /tmp directory
- then performed chmod +x JRE1.5... and finally I run the script = nothing happens in my firefox

It would be great if somebody can help me..

Thanks for reading this,

IIRC you have to link the file libjavaplugin_oji.so to firefox's /plugins directory

Exactly, you can create a link or add it to your path. I personally create the link. It's easier.

I did following:
sh ./j2re-1_4_2_06-linux-i386-rpm.bin
$ su
rpm -e kaffe (this command will fail if kaffe isn't installed, that's ok)
rpm -Uvh jre-1.3.1_02.i386.rpm (use the filename it just inflated)
ls /usr/java
ln -s j2re-1_4_2_06/usr/java/default (use the directory name printed in the previous step)
wget -O /etc/profile.d/j2se.sh http://speculation.org/garrick/j2se.sh
wget -O /etc/profile.d/j2se.csh http://speculation.org/garrick/j2se.csh
chmod 755 /etc/profile.d/j2se.sh /etc/profile.d/j2se.csh
exit

which java
j2re-1_4_2_06

Harmful!!!
