You need to have a symlink in one of Netscape's 'plugins' directories.
At a guess (I don't use Netscape), I suspect that is ~/.netscape/plugins
  and /opt/Netscape7/plugins [or wherever Netscape is]. This should be
a symlinks to libjavaplugin_oji.so, which is probably at
/usr/java/jre/plugin/sparc/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so, depending on your
setup.
