I've set it up on two slackware systems with version 1.1.6. In both cases
they worked perfectly right out of the box. I think this is more a result
of luck than any particular sysadmin skill on my part.
The first one is my work computer. It is kernel version 2.0.27 (yes, I
know, ancient). It has libc5.4.44 and ld.so -> ld-linux.so.1.8.2. It
also has a whole whack of other stuff. Those are the suggested library
versions at java.blackdown.org.
The second is my home computer. Kernel 2.0.34, and stock slackware 3.5
libs. It has about half a whack of other stuff.
I've also used some other versions (1.1.5? Can't recall), never with
problems.
Make sure you have the libc5 version of the JDK and NOT the glibc. The
java compiler is just a wrapper to the java program, so your problem is
likely with java itself and not just the compiler.
Good luck,
dstn.
