Robert, I'm somewhat new to this but since I haven't seen your question answered I'll do my best. I installed RH 5.0 and grabbed the JDK 1.1.3 (not the rpm version) a couple of months ago with the same problem. I quickly found out through this great mailing list that a patch, (glibc-2.0.7-7.i386.rpm or later), is necessary. In seconds my problem was solved. I believe the place to get the patch is: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/updates/5.0/i386/ Robert Robert Dodier wrote: > Hello all, > > I wonder if someone has run into this problem.
