Hello,

Sorry to have to bother you with support questions, but I am an experienced
Java developer on Solaris, and I have been trying to get your JDK port to
run on my Linux machine, without luck. I have tried both the glibc and
libc5 versions of the JDK, and both have been unsuccessful, yet with
different results.

My machine is configured as follows:

        Linux version: Red Hat 5.0 (Kernel 2.0.32)
        Platform: Intel (P90)
        JDK:    jdk1_1_6-v2-glibc_tar.gz (first try)
                jdk_1_1_7-v1a-libc5-x86_tar.gz (second try)
        Path: my_install_dir/bin

I assume I have glibc, because when I enter the "ls -l /lib/libc.so.*"
command is see the following:

        lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           13 Sep 14 16:36 /lib/libc.so.6 ->
libc-2.0.5.so

I first tried the glibc version. After setting my path, when I run the
"java -version" command I get "1.1.6" returned, which is OK. However, when
I try to run a simple class (to print "Hellow World" to System.out) I get a
core dump. In addition, any other commands (such as jre or javac) also core
dump, with or without parameters.

I also recently tried the libc5 version, since your doc seemed to indicate
it would work with either library. When I try to run any Java command for
this version, I get the following:

        ls: not: No such file or directory
        /usr/local/java/jdk117_v1a/bin/../bin/i586/green_threads/java: can't
resolve symbol '_Xglobal_lock'
        /usr/local/java/jdk117_v1a/bin/../bin/i586/green_threads/java: can't
resolve symbol '_XUnlockMutex_fn'
        /usr/local/java/jdk117_v1a/bin/../bin/i586/green_threads/java: can't
resolve symbol '_XLockMutex_fn'
              

I have tried searching RedHat and Blackdown for help regarding this
problem, but cannot find anything. I am not sure if this a bug, or some
config problem on my part. Any help you can provide will be greatly
appreciated.
