Hi, I will try this one last time. If you are getting seg-faults when using either java or javac upon startup they are caused by incompatible shared libraries (99 times out of 100). Before submitting a bug report try the following: - remove libdl.so and libc.so from $JAVA_HOME/lib/xxx/green_threads/ where xxx is your machine architecture (i.e. i386, ppc, i586, etc) Kevin ---------------------------------------------------------- Kevin B.
