Hi there,

I am an oracle dba who is installing jave on linux for use with my new
Oracle 8i database.  I have had no problems with the JRE part (the
part oracle needs - so oracle is happy now), but I have another tool
that needs swing.

I am not sure how to get swing to work under linux with the JDK/JRE.

I downloaded swing from sun and I unpacked it in a directory, followed
the instructions and so on.  The problem I have is when I go to run
the SwingSet example, I get the following error:

/usr/local/jdk/lib/i686/native_threads/libawt.so: undefined symbol: XtShellStrings 
(libawt.so)

I tried using green_threads and I get the same error
(except pointing to green_threads/libawt.so)
I am not sure if this error means there is a missing symbol in
libawt.so or if libawt.so is looking for another library with this
symbol that I do not have.

I am using jdk 1.1.7 v3
and I downloaded swing-1.1.1 from sun

I have a SWING_HOME environment variable set, but no CLASSPATH
(is it needed?).  My threads_flag is set to native, but with green it
gives the same error.  I also set JAVA_HOME to point to my jdk
directory.

Is there anyone out there successfully using swing-1.1.1 with
jdk 1.1.7?
Anyone with an idea why I have an unresolved symbol in libawt?

I would sure appreciate any help.  I am using RH6 if it matters.


While I am at it,
Anyone know how stable is the 1.2 v2 blackdown release?  I 
might switch to it if it is pretty stable - then maybe I could avoid
this headache with swing.


Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

Ken
