Does anyone have java118 working on slackware7? I get the same error
message as a previous email described (see below). Someone suggested
a missing en_US locale, but I checked mine and it was okay.
BTW, java130 and java116 work fine. And I also tried IBM's java118 which
produced the same error message as with Blackdown's 118.
I would really like to get java118 working. Any help is greatly
appreciated.

You are missing the en_US locale, which the VM depends upon for
character translation. I'm not sure of the best way to install
it for Slackware (i.e. what package contains it). Typically
your locales will live in /usr/share/locale/* or /usr/lib/locale/*
and you need to get en_US/ in there.
You might also try this tidbit from the glibc INSTALL notes:
> After installation you might want to configure the timezone and
> locale installation of your system. The GNU C library comes with
a
> locale database which gets configured with `localedef'. For
example, to

> `localedef -i de_DE -f ISO-8859-1 de_DE'. To configure all
locales
> that are supported by glibc, you can issue from your build
directory the
> command `make localedata/install-locales'.
