Has anyone successfully installed Java 2 onto a Marist distribution? We currently have a 2.2.15 (Marist) system running native in an s390 LPAR. So far the LPAR has been a learning tool/experience for Linux on s390. We now have the applications personnel interested in running a demo app using Apache but they also need Java 2 installed. I've uploaded the Blackdown port and the installation completes without any errors, however we are experiencing problems with trying to compile a simple 'HelloWorld'. I'm not very experienced with Linux, but I'm guessing that I may need a few additional items/RPMS installed to get this system up to snuff.
If this goes well then I can probably persuade the folks with the purse strings to get more serious about Linux on s390. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks much in advance. John
