It seems the consensus "solution" for running the 1.2 JDK under RH6 is to be
SURE you are running green threads (in addition to disabling the JIT). All
the associated comments seem to echo "RH6 doesn't support native threads".
What does this REALLY mean ?
Does this mean that pthread support is missing in RH6, or that the JVM when
compiled using the native thread option just doesn't work ? Where is the
limitation...RH or Java ? Is this a temporary situation, or will native
threads NEVER work ? If the latter is true, this poses HUGE problems. Case
in point- JNI. According to the 1.2 pre-release notes you should use the
native threads VM if you are going to use JNI with pthread code. How will
this be possible ?
I am in a situation where I am porting a product from Win32 to LINUX where
we had embedded the VM within our code. Before I get on TOO far, I want to
be sure that I am not going to be dead ended. I am still running RH5.2 and
was going to upgrade this weekend before I started reading about all these
issues.
Thanks
