how to install sun java plugin for iceweasel in Debian?

[Amogh Hooshdar]

How can I install the Sun Java plugin for Icewesel in Debian Lenny?

I tried copying the libjavaplugin_oji.so as shown below.

cp /opt/jdk1.6.0_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so
~/.mozilla/plugins/
cp /opt/jdk1.6.0_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/

But both attempts did not work. Please help.

java 6 is available via non-free, make sure you have non-free in your
sources list then , apt-get update ; apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
and that should get you all set.

There has to be just link for that plugin, I don't really know why, but
it didn't work for me to.
So just try ln -s
/opt/jdk1.6.0_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so
~/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

It just might work.

I would rather Amogh used ..../ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
(not the ns7-gcc29 you mentioned).

I forgot to mention that I use Debian AMD 64 bit. Is this the cause of
the problem?

Yes it is. Sun has still not distributed a Java browser plugin for 64-bit
on any OS.

Are you sure, on my system I have

uname -a
Linux home 2.6.23 #2 Sat Jan 12 19:53:14 GMT 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

aptitude search sun-java
p ia32-sun-java5-bin
p ia32-sun-java6-bin
i sun-java5-bin
p sun-java5-demo
p sun-java5-doc
i sun-java5-fonts
p sun-java5-jdk
i sun-java5-jre
p sun-java5-source
i sun-java6-bin
p sun-java6-demo
p sun-java6-doc
p sun-java6-fonts
p sun-java6-javadb
p sun-java6-jdk
i A sun-java6-jre
p sun-java6-source

Perhaps you meant Adobe flashplayer is not available for 64 bit OS's?

I think these two packages provide the java-runtime-environment which is
what is required for web browsers. Flash player works in sid via some
wrapper script but it is not natively 64 bit.
