Thanks for the information. I have my jdk1.1.6v4a running under RedHat4.2
The library libXp is in XFree86-libs-3_3_3-2-1_i386.rpm.
Since I couldn't install ld.so.1.9.9 I kept my 1.9.5 but removed libc.so.5
and libdl.so.1 from $JAVA_HOME/lib/i686/green_threads/ as indicated by Paul
Ho and my jdk worked.
One problem though. Since I installed XFree86 3.3.2 (I installed all the
updates) my X server won't start as a regular user (I can start it as root).
When I run X as a regular user I get:
xf86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root permissions.
You should be using Xwrapper to start the server or xdm.
Where to find Xwrapper or what is wrong?
