Hi Janet, Yes, I did the same thing. I am using Redhat 6.1. I found that under /usr/bin there are java executables put there as part of the default Linux installation. This old version of java is what will be referred to if /usr/bin comes before your references to the new version of java in your $PATH. So you must make sure that /usr/bin comes after your new references in $PATH. However I didn't get the same messages as you. I think you need to be using the glibc 2.1 C library for this version of java, so maybe you could check that as well. Blackdown guys - I logged this as a bug ID: 1817 please send it to the trash can and put it down to newbie ignorance. I tried to do it on the bug reporting web page and it wouldn't let me, and then sent a mail to you which bounced back as undeliverable.

And I set the path env varible to point to the jdk1.2.2/bin. When I used javac to compile a simple HelloWorld .java file, it complained: ...... /home/jdk1.2.2/bin/i386/native_threads/java: error in loading shared libraries: /home/jdk1.2.2/jre/lib/i386/native_threads/libhpi.so: symbol sem_init, version GLIBC_2.1 not defined in file libpthread.so.0 with link time reference ...... What's this meaning? I tried several times and found there was already HelloWorld.class there. And I run it. It works! And I tried to use "javac" again, this time it's right. I was totally confused! And I've heard you can use "java -version" command to verify whether your downloaded JDK was correct. And I tried it. But the result is: "JDK 1.1"!!! But what I downloaded is JDK1.2.2! It's written in the README file in it! Does it mean my JDK1.2.2 isn't corrct? And I tried another simple program. This program uses swing component : JFrame. And when compiling, it complains : Not found class JFrame. Need I set the CLASSPATH? How to? (I read that you may set it as "export CLASSPATH=/usr/local/jdk1.2.2/lib/classes.zip". But on my computer there is no classes.zip under that path. so what can I do?) Any hints and suggestion is greatly appreciated!!! I'm eager to know the answer!
