Ripping an appropriate quote from my quotes file:

====
troc says, "Or as the 'bot says in IRC: Look buddy, doesn't work is a strong
    statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Is it making faces at you?
    Does it want more money? Please be specific!"
===

Or, to phrase it more politely, what doesn't work? Do you get a blank
page? Do you get the icon for a missing plugin? Have you tried running
your browser from an xterm to see if it produces any error output
(such as, "You're missing the compat-libstdc++", which is what you get
(approximately) when the Java plugin fails)?

A little more specification in your question can lead to a lot less
waiting for the answer.

Cheers,
Waider.
