Hi, I've done the same thing last week I remember two caveats: alien to deb gave me warnings so I prefered to use rpm -> tgz to play it safe Had to rebuild a .so of size 0 be hand with a script line
Last part was explained in a FAQ or trouble-shooting page on Compaq. (found with google) I did not check extensively, but I could compile and run a HelloWorld (easy :-) ) but also run NetBeans (much more impressive !) The solution ( going to tgz) is not very good as dpkg is not aware that I have j2sdk1.3 :-( Hope this helps...

In a mail, Per Wigren told me that due to a bug in aliens rpm2cpio, the relevant .so file is of size 0. He recommended me to run rpm "raw", but the idiotic program won't accept "--force" to ignore things like "/bin/sh" missing. At least that's what I found out in a cursory check.
