>Description:
I was having trouble getting Java to work in netscape7.
I noticed a bogus symlink while debugging.
>How-To-Repeat:
install netscape7 with NS_DIST=complete from this Makefile in
pkgsrc/www/netscape7:
$NetBSD: Makefile,v 1.8 2002/10/02 01:09:06 jschauma Exp $
Then look at /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/netscape7/plugins and see this
symlink to the pkgwork area:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 106 Oct 6 08:59 libjavaplugin_oji.so.bogus -> /u5/pkgwrk/www/netscape7/work/netscape-installer/dest/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
>Fix:
Looks like the symlink needs to be corrected to point at
java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so, but even that doesn't make
everything work.
