I have been trying to get SBB JDK1.1.5 to work on my linux 2.0.33 laptop for sometime. I am using an upgraded Slackware 3.3 gradually over a period of time. I had email a couple months with a soln: o To recompile XFree86 3.3.1 with LinuxThreads (libpthread.so) Done it last night. o To get the latest libc. I have libc.5.4.44 . I was told one needed an XFree86 which supported threads. However this does not solve the problem. I ran appletviewer on the GraphicsTest demo and nothing happen. However when switch back JAVA_HOME to /usr/local/jdk1.1.3 and resource my login then everything work. The jdk1.1.5 JVM does work with the helloworld file. It is just that when I want to run a AWT or Swing example nothing happens at all! Please tell me what am I doing wrong ? I had a look at the download size for JDK 1.1.6. It was a massive 13MB in size. Is it possible to get blackdown on a CD ROM ? Maybe it is available with Slackware 3.5, which is still libc5 based ? Any help appreciated.
