The link must point at the *-gcc32 version of the plugin for it to work.

I'm using jre1.4.2 on my FC1 and FC2 boxes, installed in
/usr/local/jre1.4.2.  Hence, the link is:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      79 Jul 20 11:54 libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
	/usr/local/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/
	jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Remember that RH8.0, RH9, FC1 and FC2 use gcc 3.2x, not gcc 2.96,
so you must specify the correct version for it to work.
