Unfortunately nspluginwrapper cannot handle java 32 bit plugins. So-- You can run the Konqueror browser which does not need a plugin but uses the java virtual machine directly. You can use mozilla-firefox-bin with emul-linux-x86-java as the java plugin. Konqueror worked on your analyze site some months ago; being a gnome I have not retried more recently. I did emerge mozilla-firefox-bin followed by emerging emul-linux-x86-java. Automagically firefox-bin picked up helix(real player), flash, and java plugins. The first two plugins were on board from the actions described earlier which used nspluginwrapper to install them in 64 bit firefox. Firefox-bin displays jsp pages at www.prophet.net very well. Were I in your shoes I would do the updating, probably including kernel, unmerge browsers and plugins, do the java references above, emerge firefox-bin, emul-linux-x86-java, realplayer, netscape-flash. Check operation of firefox-bin. If flash failed to load up or fails to work, unmerge it, and use the direct download and manual install method discussed on the download site. > Thanks, > Mark > -- > gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list > -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
