Which installer are you using?
Did you read the FAQ?
Did you read the INSTALL docs? It's short, so it's easy to be fooled
into just skimming, but there are some very important details in there.
I'll bet you are using the Motif version. Forget that - get the regular
version. Also, grab the X dev rpm from an ftp.redhat.com mirror and put
that in too. Sounds like you don't have it installed, which will be a
pain in the future. You'll prolly want the C/C++ gcc dev libraries too.
I installed blackdown java as a newer than new newbie without a glitch.
Read carefully and you should have zero problems...
