Linux j2se 1.4.2 INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: no manager for initializing

I have just installed j2sdk1.4.2_04 and NetScape 7.1 on Redhat Linux 9. After following the instruction to enable java in the browser by issuing the command:

ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji .

(note the final period)

then restarting browser, I get the following message:

INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: no manager for initializing factory.

If I remove the link, the browser starts working again (without java).

I have looked in the search engines, other people are having this problem, but I did not find the cure there.

HELP!
