Mehrdad,
if you have slackware 3.3, you may need the libc5 version of jdk. when i
had slackware 3.4, it did not have glibc or bunzip2, Unless you have
installed these yourself, you will need the libc5 and tar.gz version such
as -
ftp://ce.usu.edu/pub/mirror/linux/JDK/JDK-1.1.7/i386/libc5/v1a/jdk_1.1.7-v1a-libc5-x86.tar.gz
I see i also need to upgrade, current slackware is 3.6.0 ...
