Javascript problem Fedora 16

[Roger]

I do hope someone can help me here.
I am learning Ruby on Rails.
It requires javascript to be installed for both Firefox and Chromium 
browsers.

Following the instructions at 
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_x64rpm_install.xml
jre installed,
made link sudo ln -s 
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_07/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so

Restarted firefox but it does not find jre.
I have <Enable Javascript> enabled in preferences.
Still get  Ruby on Rails ExecJS::RuntimeError.

Can someone instruct me in what to do to get jre working on firefox and 
Chromium in Fedora 16 please.
I have also installed as per instructions at: 
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_x64_install.xml This also 
fails, it appears to be only an upgrade.
Thanks in advance
Roger

first: JAVA != JAVASCRIPT - REALLY!

why do you not try the openjdk which starting with JDK7 is
the reference-implementation before mangling with third
party software outside the RPMDB and taint your system?

this is not windows where the frist step is download
something manually from the internet

F16: yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk icedtea-web
F17: yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk icedtea-web

however, i do not know how the rpm-install behaves after manual
dealing with symlinks, without after install the packages all
is working out of the box

Javascript problem Fedora 16 #2

I forgot to mention in the previous post that I also have node.js and 
execjs installed

I do hope someone can help me here.

Hi Roger,

Have you tried using OpenJDK that is available in Fedora? It has a fully
functional Web browser plugin (via icedtea-web package) that works with
Firefox and Chrome out of the box.

What document are you using for install instructions by the way?

Doh, please disregard. Missed the other message that was already sent
re: OpenJDK.

Hi Deepak and Reindl
Thanks for the openjdk suggestion. I installed but neither Firefox nor 
Chromium see it.
I'm still stuck.
Are there any other recommendations I can look into please
Thanks
Roger

Hi all
I have no idea how to install openjdk into Fedora 16.
In <Add Remove Software> I did a search for openjdk, got nothing, 
searched icedtea and got - Java browser plugin and Web Start implementation
and
API documentation for IcedTea-Web
Neither of these work.
What or how does one install openjdk in Fedora 16 please?
Thanks
Roger
