thanks for the quick reply. i've actually installed ibm's jdk: java version "1.4.2" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2) Classic VM (build 1.4.2, J2RE 1.4.2 IBM build cxppc32142-20040917 (JIT enabled: jitc)) but, whenever i try to run any java program, i get at some point an 'illegal hardware instruction' error (plus a java core file). for instance, if i run policytool (which comes with the jdk): JVMDG217: Dump Handler is Processing Signal 4 - Please Wait. JVMDG303: JVM Requesting Java core file JVMDG304: Java core file written to /tmp/javacore.20041127.042722.8729.txt JVMDG215: Dump Handler has Processed Exception Signal 4. Illegal instruction (i'm running 2.6.9, in case that matters). any idea about what's going on? thanks, jao -- It is often forgotten that (dictionaries) are artificial repositories, put together well after the languages they define.
