I ran yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin and got the below Error message.

"No package java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin available".

What version of Fedora do you have there. That package is available only in Fedora 9 and Fedora 10. If you are using Fedora 8 you would need to do:

yum install java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin

Yes FC8 , Thanks much.

I highly recommend you upgrade from Fedora 8. Updates will stop starting January 2009. Move to at least Fedora 9.

I have got Fedora 10 on two Laptops and it's still not very stable, I don't want to put it on my PC x86_64 until it's a little more stable, I prefer KDE over Gnome, and FC9 was a shamble.

I have the following installed on my F9 system:

java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-0.20.b09.fc9.x86_64

It has a build date of 2008-12-02 and was built at x86-4.fedora.phx.redhat.com

The symlink list on my system looks like:

/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/libjavaplugin.so -> /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so -> /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 -> /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/lib/amd64/gcjwebplugin.so

Kevin. The symlinks to these, are they symlink from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins as in the 32bit setup.
