-
-
- Before You Try to Run an Applet with the Plug-in
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. If you have installed Netscape, Mozilla or the plug-in in a
- nonstandard location, you need to create a link to the plugin from
- your browser's plugins directory.
-
- For Netscape 4.X run the following commands:
-
- > cd <netscape-installation-location>/communicator/plugins32
- > ln -s <plugin-installation-location>/usr/java2v131_02/plugin32/sgi/ns4/javaplugin.so javaplugin1.3.so
-
- If you don't have root permissions then you can create the link in ~/.netscape/plugins32
-
- For Mozilla:
-
- > cd <mozilla-installation-location>/plugins
- > ln -s <plugin-installation-location>/usr/java2v131_02/plugin32/sgi/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so javaplugin1.3.so
-
- Then you must make sure the following environment variable is set
- whenever you run netscape:
-
- setenv JAVA_PLUGIN_ROOT <plugin-installation-location>
-
- 2. In order to use java_eoe from a nonstandard location, you must
- make sure the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set such that
- $JAVA_HOME/bin contains the various Java tools. For example:
-
- setenv JAVA_HOME <java_eoe-installation-location>/usr/java
-
- The JDK_HOME and JRE_HOME environment variables can also be used.
-
- In order to run with the hotspot VM, you should:
-
- setenv JAVA_VMTYPE hotspot
-
- 3. If you are behind a firewall and need to access sites outside it,
- you need to manually set your HTTP proxy correctly in netscape.
- Setting a SOCKS Host is not sufficient.
-
- 4. Quit netscape (or Mozilla).
-
- 5. Restart netscape (or Mozilla).
