uninstall old versions of Java.
Install:
http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=11096

It will create a symbolic link to the Java-Plugin for some browsers.
If you still have no Java then, create the link manually.

Then don't forget to activate Java in the options of your browser :!:


Search the plugin-folder, something like
/usr/lib/BrowserXYZ/plugins
or
/root/.BrowserXYZ/plugins

Then run these comands (with the correct Path of course):

cd /usr/lib/BrowserXYZ/plugins
rm -f /usr/lib/BrowserXYZ/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
ln -s "/usr/local//Jre1.5.0_08/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so" /usr/lib/BrowserXYZ/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

What chat protocol are you talking about? GAIM suppports the most common and it does not require Java.
