Probably regxpcom was not in your path.  Type "echo $PATH" and you will 
see your path.  If the regxpcom file is not in one of those directories 
you have to type the full path to it (like "./regxpcom" if it is in the 
current directory).

Ugh.  The command line is:

ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/local/netscape/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

(I don't know how that will wrap, it should all be one line.)
