I hate to feel like one of those annoyances....but.... :-) I haven't heard anything on an expected release of 1.2-pre2, and I'm trying to figure out how long I'll need to hold out. I'm getting an error of _X11TransSocketOpen: socket() failed for local _X11TransSocketOpenCOTSClient: Unable to open socket for local _X11TransOpen: transport open failed for local/ws24.akamai.com:0 SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation stackpointer=0xbf1ff1d0 Full thread dump Classic VM (Linux_JDK_1.2_pre-release-v1, native threads): . . . . This seems to be the same error as bug 506, marked "done" and apparently fixed in 1.2-pre2. If this really is the case, it would be wonderful! I have 14 Dual PIII 450's coming in tomorrow, and I'd love to add another 14 linux boxes to the world. If I can't run our software, I'll be back in WinBlowsNT. Is there any word on when it might be possible to get a pre-release2 version of the JDK? I've been very impressed by the way with all the hard work of Blackdown. I have no doubt that it's only a matter of time before my applications will be running smoothly under linux. Things are looking great, even the Java2D stuff which we use extensively. Thanks guys! And I hope a pre2 makes it up in time. ;-) Keep up the great work. -Will Koffel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
