I'm not sure -- I was about to post this.  I'm trying to use the Java 
plugin for Mozilla 1.0.  I have a symlink to the jre plugin in the 
right directory, but when I fire up Mozilla, I get this message:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/pkg/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji140.so [Shared object "libXt.so.6" not found]

I wonder if that has something to do with a NetBSD-native program 
trying to use a Linux emulator plug-in.  (Aside:  Last month, I posted 
a note asking why I got getpwuid_r undefined any time I tried to run 
Java.  I finally fixed it, by pkg_deleting all of the Linux emulator, 
and then doing 'rm -f' on /emul/linux and /usr/pkg/emul/linux, and 
reinstalling everything.  I have no idea what was really wrong, but 
something in my emulation setup was scrogged, almost certainly by an 
attempt to upgrade to 7.3.)
