I'm a new Linux user. I used Ultrix and Solaris (with tcsh) for several years, but I've been using NT almost exclusively for about a year. I'm using an RH5.2 box that already has a working JDK 1.1.7 installed. (It had a $CLASSPATH which I unset.) I downloaded the preview Java2 from one of the Blackdown mirrors to /usr/local/jdk1.2pre-v1. When I run .../bin/java I get > Error: can't find libjava.so The only files thus named on the system were in subdirs of /usr/local/jdk1.2pre-v1, so I tried > ln -s /usr/local/jdk1.2pre-v1/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so /usr/lib/libjava.so ; ldconfig and > ln -s /usr/local/jdk1.2pre-v1/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so /usr/local/jdk1.2pre-v1/jre/lib/libjava.so ; ldconfig but neither fixed the error. Any diagnoses?
