A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Cannot run Java plug-in while all the .so libraries are installed.

E.g.: if libgcc_s.so is not installed:
$ ldd j2sdk1.4.2_03/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
        libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x40052000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4009d000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40177000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4017a000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => not found
        libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x40297000)
        libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x4029f000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)


JUSTIFICATION :
if the user knows that there are missing .so libraries (s)he could install them instead of thinking why the java plug-in isn't working in the browser

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The install script should print something like:

WARNING: the following libraries are missing in your system:

The file j2sdk1.4.2_03/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so needs
        libgcc_s.so.1 => not found

ACTUAL -
(silence)
