I read the FAQ but still could not find a solution. I downloaded a
copy of jdk-sbb-1.1.6-2.1.1glibc.i386.rpm from
http://anna.inf.u-szeged.hu/java/java-rpm.html. But when i
installed this RPM version, "libXm.so.1 is needed" poped up. My
machine is installed with Metro Link Motif 2.1. (so I only have
libXm.so.2). Does this version of JDK have to work with Motif 1.x?
All my installation are done under the X. Does this cause any
problem?
Feng,
The RPM archive is possibly the source of this confusion. To fool rpm,
you can either create a symlink from libXm.so.X to libXm.so.2, i.e.
type
$ ls /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.* # <--- Find your .so first!
$ cd /usr/X11R6/lib; ln -s libXm.so.2.1 libXm.so.2 # <--- You saw .so.2.1
before running rpm(8), or run rpm with the --nodeps flag. See the
rpm(8) manual page for more information. In general, using the
--nodeps flag is a little risky if you don't know what you're doing,
but SBB works hard to remove the dependencies RPM tries to worry about
at the source.
As far as I remember, the current SBB i386 JDKs are statically linked
to NC Laboratories' SWiM Motif 2.1 (as far as I know). Unless you run
it with DYN_JAVA set, you get what SBB compiled into it.
