Which JDK is this? Are you installing the 1.5 + Netbeans bundle from Sun? If you are installing 1.4 or older on FC4, you'll need to install the xorg-x11-deprecated-libs rpm. Anyway, to install the 1.5 JDK + Netbeans package execute the following: $ xhost +local $ su # chmod +x <jdk package> # ./<jdk package> -Bryan .-----------------------------------. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `-----------------------------------'
