The WebEx applet uses a proprietary native module to access the sound software. It is a 32-bit .so, so it cannot be loaded by a 64-bit JVM. The usual solution seems to be to run a 32-bit browser any time you are using WebEx. As an alternative, I have patched the nspluginwrapper utility so that you can run a 32-bit Java plugin from a 64-bit browser (I've tested with Firefox, it should also work with Chrome).
Download the latest sources for nspluginwrapper from http://nspluginwrapper.org/download/
Expand the file (tar -xvzf) in a convenient location
Apply the following patch to the file npw-viewer.c:
You may need to get some additional libraries to make things work. In particular, I installed:
YMMV.
After getting the dependencies, its:
Then you will need a 32-bit jre. This can be downloaded from Oracle's website and installed.
Finally, locate the file
libnpjp2.so
in thelib
directory of the 32-bit Java installation. I found it in/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/jre/lib/i386/
.Execute
(Or wherever your Java was installed.)
Then (re) start Firefox. Type "aboutlugins" in the address bar. You should see your newly installed 32-bit Java plugin.
