Hello all,
I wonder if someone has run into this problem. I have installed JDK1.1.6
from the .rpm obtained from blackdown.org. I am running Linux 2.0.32
(RH 5.0), and although RH 5.0 came with glibc.so.6, I have gone ahead
and installed glibc.so.7. (Same problem w/ both versions of glibc;
I've also tried JDK 1.1.5 and I have the same problem.)
What happens is this: when I try to execute java (or javac -- I suppose
it is only executing java as well), before anything happens I immediately
get "segmentation fault".
This makes me think there is something strange about my installation.
FWIW I installed RH 5.0 just a few days ago, so most of the stuff is
straight off the installation CD. libc is different, and I might have
installed one or two other packages.
I also installed kaffe (after having the "segmentation fault" problem)
and it runs OK, except that there are some classes which are not
implemented in kaffe's distribution (Klasses.jar) -- so long as the
program I am trying to run uses only thoses classes in Klasses.jar,
I;m OK, but if I try to supply the remaining classes in Sun's Solaris
classes.zip (I got this idea from the kaffe website, I think) then
kaffe dies. Does anyone know how best to supply non-kaffe classes?
Well, I would be happy if I could get either java or kaffe running
smoothly. What I really need is to run RMI programs, but I'll deal
with RMI-specific problems (doubtless there will be some :) when
they occur.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
