The GZIP format implementation bundle on the JAI site is just a
standard Gzipped tar archive. That does contain some Solaris native
.so libraries that are supposed to end up in the JDK 1.2 jre/lib/sparc
directory. Running JAI applications on Linux should just ignore those
though I suppose you could remove them as unecessary. JAI is set up
to fall back to pure Java implementations when native implementations
(presumably residing in jre/lib/i386 on Intel/Linux) are not
available. It should work okay on Linux (modulo JDK 1.2
incompleteness), just more slowly than it might. Of course, I haven't
actually tried this yet, so YMMV.
