I read your README.linux and your strong suggestion to send bugs
via the java-linux.org.
Steve,
Whups, we've not updated this! The java-linux.org site isn't active
any longer. Please use http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux.html
instead. To report bugs, visit http://www.blackdown.org/cgi-bin/jdk
I downloaded jdk-sbb-1.1.6-2.1.2glibc.i386.rpm for my RedHat 5.0
system. This system has never had the jdk on it before. I used rpm
to install it to the default location. But the symbolic links are
all wrong.
Have you updated your 5.0 system with the ld and glibc RPMs mentioned
on http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/rh50-errata-general.html? If
not, something odd must be happening, but I think I'll defer this
question to the RPM maintainer. The two people I know of who are
making RPMs have both been *very* responsive to problem reports.
In the meantime, you may wish to download the plain tar file from one
of the mirrors mentioned at
http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/mirrors.cgi. Once you've gotten it
over to your system, simply type "tar zxvf FILENAME" in the directory
you wish to install the JDK. Then set your JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH
environment variables (unsetting JDK_HOME or anything else like that
as well). Some instructions for how to do all this are found at
http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/docs/faq/FAQ-java-linux-3.html.
Good luck!
