    Java not working for Linux Red Hat 64bit

    I have installed the Java rpm for 64 bit. I have tried re installing it and it says its already installed but it doesn't not show up in my plugins on firefox.

    Then when I run something that requires Java it says java is required. I am very new to linux and I am not sure what to do

    Thanks

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Which java version did you install? Best results on RHEL 6 is to install the java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 package.

    Have you installed IcedTea-Web? In firefox you can check wether icedtea-web plugin is installed: Tools => add-ons => plugins?
    When it isn't installed you can install it with yum. Commando: '$> yum install icedtea-web' (as root)

    When you are sure that it is installed:
    • Do you have 'libjavaplugin.so' in directory '/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins' and is it a link to '/etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so' what should be a link to '/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/i386/IcedTeaPlugin.so'?
    • Or do you only have 'libjavaplugin_oji.so' in '/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins'?
