The error comes from the fact that libXp.so.6 is in XFree86 3.3.2 and you
are probably on XFree86 3.3.1. So you must upgrade your X windows system. If
you are using Redhat 4.2 look in the redhat-4.2/updates directory, and
you'll find the XFree86 3.3.2 rpms for libc5.
If you have a version of ld less than ld.so.1.9.9 then remove libc.so.5 and
and libdl.so.1 from $JAVA_HOME/lib/i686/green_threads/ as indicated by Paul
Ho.
