After installing blackdown 1.4.2-rc1 and jre 1.4.1 and mozilla 1.7 (with +java in USE), I noticed no java. I switched java-config from jdk to jre with no effect, and back. On examination of the mozilla plugins directory, I noticed that the symlink for java was there - only, misnamed. It's linked as such (and corresponding changes similarly when switching to jre) javaplugin_oji.so -> /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2_rc1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so However, the file being linked to doesn't exist. Rather, it's libjavaplugin_oji.so. When manually linking as such: libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2_rc1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so Mozilla's about:plugins displays Java info. So... it's more a script or configuration issue, since when properly linked, all seems well - perhaps in java-config? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge Mozilla 2. emerge blackdown 3. env-update && source /etc/profile 4. examine symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ Actual Results: Symlink linked to non-existant file - javaplugin_oji.so -> /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2_rc1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so Expected Results: Symlink to link to existing file - libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2_rc1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so Portage 2.0.50-r8 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r0, 2.6.7-gentoo-r5) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.7-gentoo-r5 i586 AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor Gentoo Base System version 1.4.8 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.58-r1 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=k6-2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -mmmx -m3dnow" CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=k6-2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -mmmx -m3dnow" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo ftp://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/ http://ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/gentoo/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X aalib aim alsa apache2 apm avi berkdb bishop3d cdr crypt cups curl doc dvb encode esd fbcon foomaticdb gd gdbm gif gimp gimpprint gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 guile imlib innodb java jpeg libg++ libwww lzw-tiff mad mikmod mmx mng motif mozcalendar mozilla mozsvg mozxmlterm mpeg msn mysql ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oscar pam pdflib perl png ppds python quicktime readline samba scanner sdl slang spell ssl svg svga tcltk tcpd tiff truetype usb vik wmf x86 xml xml2 xmms xv yahoo zlib"
I think this is a java package problem, attaching java@gentoo.org in case. Please take this over if so.
fixed a few weeks ago emerging a jdk or jre with +mozilla will create the correct link and remove invalid ones
