Re: Fwd: Java status NetBSD



Hmm,
 
java madness :) I saw in pkgsrc.se that jdk15 is reborn again :) Thanks abs :) Even easier if we could use  firefox-linux but this doesn't run on x86_64 due to some bug- at least port says so.

So it occurred to me that if the java plugin is now using the standard
NPAPI interface, perhaps we could use the linux plugin from sun-jre6
via the nspluginwrapper but unfortunately when I tried I got this
error:

# nspluginwrapper -v -i /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/plugins/libnpjp2.so
*** NSPlugin Viewer  ***
ERROR: /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/plugins/libnpjp2.so: undefined symbol:
__gxx_personality_v0
nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found
for /usr/pkg/lib/netscape/plugins/libnpjp2.so


cheers
