It should just work. Make sure (since you are RedHat 5.0) not to have
Kaffe installed from the default Kaffe archives.
I basically run RedHat 5.0 on the system that I built the v5 glibc version
of the JDK 1.1.6 Linux port.
Note also that if you have JAVA_HOME set or something in CLASSPATH
that points to an old JDK install, this can cause things not to run.
However, given that you are getting a silent failure it sounds more
like a Kaffe install collision.
