About:plugins reports the plugin as present, but when I go to a page with an applet in I get the jigsaw piece where the applet should be. Worse, if I delete pluginreg.dat and then restart the plugin no longer appears in the list of available plugins! This is RH 8.0 with JDK 1.4.1_02 (JDK version doesn't seem to make any difference) and Moz installed from the RPMs. There is no error output. Things were working fine with 1.3b. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a page with an applet in 2. 3. Actual Results: Bugger all Expected Results: I should have the applet!

I'm having trouble here too. The symlink is on the plugins lib and it was working ok with 1.3a. Now no chance to make Java works. RH 8.0 and JDK 1.4.1-b21 here.

I should mention that other plugins work fine.

The RPMs are now compiled with GCC3.2 instead of 2.95 (1.3a) You MUST use a JRE that is also compiled with GCC3.2. AFAIK Blackdown.org released a GCC3.2 compiled JRE -> invalid (no bug)

You're kidding, right? Sun JDK is no longer supported under RH?? Sorry, but this is a DEFECT, unless somebody can give me a workaround to get my install working with the official JDK. And if the answer is "use Netscape", I don't want to hear it!

Things are moving to gcc3. Binary compatibility is not preserved across that switch. If you want to use the Sun plugin, don't use the RPMs (the tarballs are still compiled with the old gcc compiler, and are (IIRC) around 10% slower because of it). If you want to use the RPMs, get the Blackdown plugin. (Sun should have released a gcc3-compiled version of the plugin long ago, if you ask me, but blackdown finally beat them to it.)

AFAIk SUN will Release a GCC3.2 JRE 1.4.1_02 in the near future verified invalid
