First a peeve: I am writing this because I am reminded by Rajesh's message. He does what I think *all of us* should do. I think it is completely unhelpful for people to reply to "it doesn't work" messages with "well, it works for me messages". As a list it is a nuisance, however, the real problem occurs with searches of archives and USENET. The reply includes the original message and thus a search returns these offending messages.
Now, a response (keep in mind I have not installed Blackdown): You are running /usr/local/jdk1.2.2/bin/java yet your path is /usr/bin/jdk1.2.2/bin (something I have issue with, but that aside...). Also, the native_threads and realpath variables seem to be relative, your error mentions an absolute path. This is a problem (and judging by the "success" responses to which you refer, it is likely in your script hacking).

Hi, I downloaded v1 of jdk-1.2 from blackdown. I had no problems getting it to work after following the instructions in the README.linux file. I tested a program that uses the Swing library that comes with jdk-1.2 and it works just fine. I have slink installed and all I did was to add /usr/jdk1.2/bin to PATH and usr/jdk1.2/lib to CLASSPATH. I also removed my jdk1.1 installation. Hope this helps. ciao Rajesh
