firefox 64 bit and java pluggin

Post by skizo »

Hello,
I compiled icedtea, which is an openjdk1.6 "implementation" (the word does not suits, but who cares ?) to use a correct java plugin in my firefox 64bits.
This is actualy working mostly but by browsing goproblems, I only see the error :

Invalid SGF data. Sorry, you're screwed. Error message: illegal start of token string: \ in \r\n(;B[qo]C[RIGHT])\r\n(;B[qp]C[RIGHT])

I can't believe I'm the only on using firefox 64bits. Did someone got luckier than me ?

Is it possible that there is a bug in the goproblems page ?

Thanks for any comments/help

I would like to add that OpenJDK now passes the Java Test Compatibility Kit :

Is there some dev from goProblems in here who can adress my issue ?

thank a lot

The only solution I've found is to install a 32-bit firefox:

works for me (64-bit Hardy)

I have the same problem with Firefox 3 / 32 bits. I tried replacing java6 by java5, but to no avail.

For the moment, I disabled java, and used the javascript mode of goproblems, which works.

Good news,

openjdk6 makes goproblem work fine.
Under Archlinux x86_64 at least.
