1 oh fuck the gui installer.
2 There's ways around that.
3 To get everything working, just grab the gui installer, install
4 normally, but *KILL* the install when it prompts you that the install is
5 completed (the ok checkmark)
6 then change the symlink on plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so.
7 Everything else should work perfectly fine.
