This is odd, to have the JDK 
(/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/), you must have 
installed java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel. Therefore, you must have installed 
java-1.6.0-openjdk, which in turn provides the 
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/ directory 
(java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin provides 
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/gcjwebplugin.so). Seems 
like your links got nuked or you lost some files somewhere.

The only thing I can suggest is removing all your java-1.6.0-openjdk 
packages, and reinstall them all. Be sure you at least have 
java-1.6.0-openjdk, and java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin.


Let me know if that works,
Lillian
