jre plugin on a redhat 9 box

Hey chaps,

I'm really suffering with this RH9 box now - and seriously considering a switch back to Slackware..

Anyway, given the following, can anyone suggest why my browser continues to refuse to play applets?

I am using Galeon 1.2.10 with Mozilla 1.3. My 'Help -> plugins' dialogue shows support for all sorts of java MIME types, including beans and applets - all under the heading "px4HB Plug-in 1.3.1_08-b03" (whatever that means).

I have also created the following symlink:

[chris@kerenski chris]$ ls -al /usr/java/jre1.3.1_08/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root bin 351506 Jun 17 02:15 /usr/java/jre1.3.1_08/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[chris@kerenski chris]$ ls -al /home/chris/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 60 Jun 17 02:23 /home/chris/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/jre1.3.1_08/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so


Now I'm stumped!
