[Opera-Linux] Java crashing Opera 9.24 Build 671 x86_64, 2.6.22.9-0.4-default

[Lee Ross]

For the first time since Opera 6.3,  I can't get into my bank website  
without turning off Java. Of course the problem si not with the bank  
website, but with the install of Java on Opera. Haven't been able to get  
Java to work for the last couple of versions.

If I go to the Opera java help page and try the test applet, it kills  
Opera. I'm finding nothing about this on the Opera/Linux mailing list.  
I've googled and found something about a sym-link but do not understand  
what they are talking about.......

Java appears to be installed in /usr/lib/jvm/jre/lib/i386 as it is  
validated and when I look in this i386 file I do find all the files from  
the install.

When I search using find / -name libjava.so 2> /dev/null I get the  
following pathway:

  /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update13/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so

When I attempt to validate this pathway it says, it cannot find what it  
needs. As you can tell, I'm confused about the whole thing and have not  
been able to use Java for quite some time now. What part of this am I not  
understanding and how do I get Java to work? What other info do you need  
to help provide a resolution?

Thanks for any and all help,
