If I were going to install Sun's JDK, first thing I'd do is get and install the docs. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp#docs. Installation notes are at: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/install.html. To get the JDK itself, go here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp That said, is there any reason not to use the gcj development tools already packaged for FC4? I am not trying to start a flame war, just curious for my own edification? http://www.jpackage.org/ -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
