Hello.

I installed

mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.7.5-installer.tar.gz

from the mozilla.org

and

j2sdk-1.4.2-01-linux-i586.bin
(which is identical to the file that the gentoo blackdown ebuild uses)

from blackdown

under /usr/local

so I could share them betweem my slackware partition and my gentoo
partition.

When I am running gentoo, mozilla vanishes the instant I click on a html
page that
invokes a java applet.

When I am runnning slackware, I do not have this problem.

about

lugins shows that mozilla knows about java in both cases.

and I can run java applets from a console command line in both cases.

Can anyone here tell me what might possibly be causing this problem?

I am absolutely stumped.

Thanks!

Start mozilla from the console and tell us the output. Why does it
crash?

file privilige problem could cause this, or dependency misses, you could
always run revdep-rebuild to see if you need to rebuild something in Gentoo.
