The reason Mike did his mksles9root script to prepare the file tree is that this way you install the latest versions from the service pack rather than the older base levels. Yes, that and because working with individual loopback-mounted-ISO-CDs seems to be tricky at best (and if you want to

Because no one has ported the HotSpot/JIT code (which is architecture dependent) to s390. Sun uses their Hotspot compiler to take the Java byte codes and create native s390 instruction sequences. I ported the 1.2 and 1.3 JDKs when they still used a Just In Time compiler (JIT) but hesitated when

Ok, the next step then is to query RPM on the system that has curl installed to find out what package RPM thinks provided the library. rpm -qf /path/to/libc.a Then check to see if that is installed on the system where curl doesn't want to go on. If RPM says that the file is not owned by any

Bite the bullet and use --nodeps. When RPM isn't used to install everything on a system, you usually have to wind up doing this. Or, converting the RPM to whatever format the native package management tool uses, and using that. Mark Post -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port
