    Were do I put the symlink for Java on a RHEL 6.1 WS 64-bit?

    Posted on

    Hello folks!

    I'll hope there is anyone that got this working, because I can't seem to find any solution on Google around this. Especially for the 64-bits version of RHEL.

     

    I got the Java enviroment installed, but I need to create a symlink for the

    libnpjp2.so.

    The only guide I found is for 32-bit, and that's a big differents between them.

     

     

     

    Create a symbolic link to the

    libnpjp2.so
    file in the browser plugins directory

    • Go to the plugins sub-directory under the Firefox installation directory
      cd /plugins
    • Create the symbolic link
      ln -s /lib/i386/libnpjp2.so


    Note: If you are upgrading your Java version then before creating new symbolic link you should remove old symbolic link to enable latest downloaded Java.

    To remove old symbolic link:
    type

    cd /plugins

    rm libjavaplugin_oji.so 


    Example

    • If Firefox is installed at this directory:
      /usr/lib/
    • And if the Java is installed at this directory:
      /usr/java/
    • Then type in the terminal window to go to the browser plug-in directory:
      /usr/lib//plugin
    • Enter the following command to create a symbolic link to the Java Plug-in for the Mozilla browser.
      ln -s /usr/java//lib/i386/libnpjp2.so

    I need Java up and runing today, but I can't seem to get this to work. =/

     

    Best regards

    Pontus
