As I just successfully installed Java an my totaly new RH5 box, it might help you, if I just tell you what I did. I downloaded the new jdk1.1.5-v7-glibc.tar.gz you find it at any mirrors listed in http://java.blackdown.org/java-linux/mirrors.html. I also downloaded and installed i18n-v7.glibc.tar.gz what ever this is good for :-) Then I downloaded and installed the packages glibc-2.0.7-7.i386.rpm and glibc-devel-2.0.7-7.i386.rpm as described in http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/docs/libraries.html you find them directly at ftp.redhat.com My Enviroment variables for Java look like this: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.1.5 export JDK_HOME=$JAVA_HOME export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVAHOME/lib/classes.zip export SWING_HOME=/usr/local/swing export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$SWING_HOME/swingall.jar export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/src/ export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin The best URL for Info on Java Linux for shure is http://www.w3com.com/paulcho/javalinux/ You can also have a look at my own page at http://www.kr.tuwien.ac.at/~gernot/java-linu.html hope, this helps, gernot. -- Gernot Koller - Technical University Vienna/Austria * [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ö PGP: 9C DA 62 06 6A B6 DC D5 18 D9 DA 27 FB 5C 5D FF ( ) http://www.kr.tuwien.ac.at/~gernot/java-linux.html --oOo--
