FreeBSD freedom 8.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 #0: Tue Jan  5 21:11:58 UTC 2010     root at amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
>Description:
In the /usr/local/bin/opera launch script, many java path are hard-coded for i386 so that opera running on amd64 machines can't use java applets.

Also, the ${OPERA_JAVA_DIR}/server path must be added to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable so that the libjvm.so shared library can be loaded at start (problem encountered at last with the diablo jdk).
>How-To-Repeat:
Start Opera on a amd64 system, go to http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml , applet should not load. Also Opera should complains of its inability to load libjvm.so.
>Fix:
1. Either replace all occurences of the word "i386" with "amd64" or "`uname -m`" in the script

2. Add the path "${OPERA_JAVA_DIR}/server" to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable (line 188)
