Hi,
Ok heres what happened me upon installing jdk1.1.5.rpm in the wee ours of
last night.

First of all Ive got the latest glibc libs
(1)glibc-2.0.7-13
(2)glibc-devel-2.0.7-13

Now when I go to run java/javac It dont core-dump it complains that it cant
find/link to the shared library 
        libXpm.so.4.9 which btw resides in /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib directory
which is also referenced in my /etc/ld.so.conf file

Ok I can solve this problem by setting up my LD_LIBRARY_PATH to reference
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib,  This gets rid of the initial prob bu introduces
another 

shell-init: could not get current directory: getwd: cannot access parent
directories
job-working-directory: could not get current directory: getwd:
cannot access parent directories
....................
...................

but eventually spits out the java/javac help info

Now also with my LD_LIBRARY_PATH set if I go an vi a file I get the
following error

Unable to open swap file, recovery impossible
No tags file

upon start up just above the command line, but it then goes away upon
insert mode.

now I can solve these problems ie vi and the getwd ones by unsetting
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but then java/javac dont work very well ;)

----------------


please note, Im doing all this in text teminal, not X. 

Thanks in advance
