That's strange as the Blackdown distribution says that jdk1.2 does not need 
for any environment variables to be set such as JAVA_HOME.

In fact I ran "java -version" from inside 
/usr/share/jdk1.2/bin/i386/native_threads where the java executable resides 
and for good measure also ran it with libhpi.so copied to the same 
directory.

So, surely, I should not have had any problems assuming JAVA_HOME is not 
required.

Well, I got the path working, this morning before work, but no time for 
JAVA_HOME. I'll try that this evening.

Thanks.

James.

You definitely need the glibc2.1 version with RH6.0.

Check that your various environment variables are consistent:

        JAVA_HOME should point to the directory in which you've installed the 
        JDK1.2/glibc2.1 installation

        PATH should include $JAVA_HOME/bin *before* any other directories
        where it might find executables named "java". This is irrelevant
        if you request to run the "java" executable using its full pathname.

The problem you describe sounds characteristic of running the wrong glibc 
version... are you sure you tried running from the glibc2.1-based 
installation?
