<walte>/msg apt sid mozilla java
<apt> mozilla 1.3 (in sid) is compiled with g++ 3.2. The ABI has changed, and old Java virtual machines will not work any more. Please see http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.3/#compatible for details.
Mozilla 1.3 Release Notes
Linux
Mozilla requires glibc 2.1 or later. (Bug 44787)
If you have Red Hat Linux 6.0, you can't launch Mozilla if Java 2 is installed. The problem doesn't occur with Red Hat 6.1 or higher. (Bug 58259)
For Red Hat Linux 7, you must install the Standard C++ libraries for Red Hat 6.x compatibility. Get the package from the Red Hat 7 installation CD or download it from Red Hat. (Bug 59012)
To run Mozilla on SuSE Linux 6.2, you must install the libjpeg.so.62 file available here.
If you are using the Red Hat 8.x RPMS and you have the Java plugin installed, you must have a version that is also compiled with GCC 3.2. There is a version available from the Blackdown project. Make sure you download the GCC 3.2 version! A version with GCC 3.2 is also rumored to be available from Sun sometime soon.
Java Platform 2 Version 1.4.x for Linux:
...
Mozilla 1.0 or newer built with gcc-2.95 or gcc-3.2 depending on which Java build you use (needed only for the Java Plug-In)
