Hi, Hugh,
I did add the link, and then corrected it, then tried
# mozilla-plugin-config -i
*** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so:
undefined symbol: __gxx_personality_v0
So at this time, the jre plugin is not installed and I seem to be
missing some vital library function to get it to work.
After a great deal of google surfing I discovered that this fuction is
supposedly part of libstdcc++. Using yum I discovered that that is
supported by: libstdc++.x86_64
running yum info libstdc++.x86_64 I get:
# yum info libstdc++.x86_64
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

This also shows up as installed via the graphics window, as I am not
trusting any single method to give me information now.

Which shows it as installed, but it doesn't work, and the quickjava
addon toolbar button does not enable it.
