Re: javaws / webstart on fedora for amd64

[Calvin Austin]

I believe you are seeing a generic javaws bug that is unfortunately a 
change in behavior of glibc/waitid Juergen take a look at 6188963, Hui 
believes you can just switch in waitpid instead of waitid. btw the 1.5 
32bit JVM should also work on your machine too, but the javaws has the 
same issue

Good afternoon --
I'm new to the list, but first looked through the archives and found nothing 
on this issue.

I'm running Fedora core 3 on amd64, with kernel 2.6.9-1.667. There is no 
javaws bundled with Sun's amd64 JDK1.5.0, and the i386 javaws bundled with 
Sun's jdk1.4.2_06 consumes 100% CPU and never displays the Web Start dialog. 
This led me to blackdown.org. Love your work.

I downloaded and installed the blackdown jre (j2re-1.4.2-rc1-linux-amd64.bin), 
& the blackdown jdk (j2sdk-1.4.2-rc1-linux-amd64.bin). In both cases I find 
that, unfortunately, javaws behaves the same as Sun's javaws from their 
jdk1.4.2_06; that is, it appears to consume 100% of CPU, and never displays 
the Web Start dialog.

Has anyone else out there used javaws under Fedora for amd64? If so, what 
versions of the relevant software did you use, and did you have to engage in 
any trickery or magic to get it to work?

Much TIA.
