Hello all, I wrote a few days ago about the problem I was having w/ JDK1.1.6 from blackdown.org. When I executed java, a segmentation fault would happen immediately. I have a RH 5.0 installation. Someone suggested that I download the most recent glibc package, which is 2.0.7, to replace the one which came w/ RH 5.0, which is 2.0.6. At first that didn't help any -- but that's apparently because, after finding that JDK wouldn't run, I installed kaffe. Which did run, although kaffe doesn't include a number of classes, so it's not a complete solution in itself. So after blowing away kaffe, java from the JDK runs fine! I'm very happy about this. I will be doing some RMI programming. (Distributed belief networks -- in case you want to know.) Thanks for the helpful hints. I'm posting this in the hope that this note will help someone in a similar situation. --Robert Dodier
