well, java plugin is only build on 32bit. to have it work in firefox there's |
2 |
only one way: 32bit firefox. |
3 |
for the other extensions (that on 64bit work) to work with 32bit you need to |
4 |
build them for 32bit with the correct flag set into portage, on multilib |
5 |
systems, as yours, portage can build 32bit binaries natively. all you have |
6 |
to do is pass to portage the right flag to do so and to unmask the 32bit |
7 |
package. for how to do this search in the gentoo documentation. |
8 |
the other way to use java on 64bit is konqueror on kde (i don't know it |
9 |
nautilus does this too): konqueror would use the 64bit javavm, which was |
10 |
build also on 64bit, and can use flash via nspluginwrapper and |
11 |
netscape-flash. in this way you'd have a native 64bit web client, with flash |
12 |
plugin, also only 32bit version, enabled via emulation with nspluginwrapper. |
13 |
for having konqueror work set it recognization to firefox or iexplore in the |
14 |
preferences, or you might miss some sites' features that required firefox or |
15 |
iexploder. |
16 |
for nautilus on gnome you might try to see if it supports 64bit java and |
17 |
nspluginwrapper too. |
18 |
these are the actual choices for java and flash on 64bit platoforms. i |
19 |
really hope that firefox 3 would come out with support for javavm for linux |
20 |
and not with only that crappy javaplugin one. |
