Everyone is having this problem, has to do with a bug in one of the RPMS that come with RH6.0, there is a fix though, something to do with adding another font entry, you can find it on the RedHat site somewhere, like in the FAQ.

Re: [off-topic] stop bashing!
The distance between the core published API and the actual layer at which system services requests are made, is very far. The is a set of .java routines that just dont get changed, and are common between win&solaris machines. Then there is a set of '.java' routines, that are particular to windoz, and a set for solaris ports. These particular java routines take care of the necessary transslations between the OS and the core java routines that just dont get changed. System pecularities should never have to go beyond the 'system' interface routines, or bubble up to, or beyond these service routines. But eventually someone is gonna want to try to build a >4gig file ( >32bit seeks ) on the alpha/linux box. Maybe someone is gonna try to read from a 16gig file. These are all valid uses. And Should I limit these people to 32bit file sizes, or allow them the full use of the OS capabilities? And what of the reverse - If I create a 14gig file on alpha/linux using the Alpha JDK and attempt to shuve it onto an intel box, you may not be able to move that file to that intel box., because the file system may not be able to handle that file size. Would u blame the OS, the Intel JDK, or the Alpha JDK. >From the front everything appears to be homogenious, (even on my alpha/linux port ) but in the back there are some real life issues. And they tend to get resolved without the java user ever noticing. Tell me, did Microsoft alter the published core API to suit their own sensibilities? I dont know, as I didnt pay much attention.

[OFFTOPIC] When McNealy took the stage, the true Redmond bashing began
Read this =) Date: 18-06-99 Source: InfoWorld Subject: McNealy preaches to the converted during final JavaOne keynote The final keynote address of this week's JavaOne developer conference in San Francisco had three overarching themes: Linux is good, Microsoft is evil, and appliance computing is here to stay. Patricia Sueltz, general manager of Java at IBM, took the stage first to discuss what she and Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy have in common: a commitment to core standard technologies such as Linux, the Extensible Markup Language (XML), and Java for driving e-business applications. In response to a petition signed by almost 1,000 developers, IBM last week released VisualAge for Java. "The Linux JVM [Java virtual machine] is part of IBM's major commitment to Linux support on hardware and software," Sueltz said. Sueltz pleaded with the almost 10,000 developers in the audience -- JavaOne itself was attended by about 21,000 people -- to continue to be vocal and aggressive in their commitment to standards. In a tone reminiscent of a rally on the campus of U.C. Berkeley, Sueltz shouted, "refuse to conform to proprietary development models. Throw them out! Subvert the forces that would fragment Java! Continue to fight for open standards!" Sueltz also lauded the power of XML, saying that "XML does for data what Java does for apps," and she encouraged the definition of standards to link the two before proprietary solutions emerge first. When McNealy took the stage, the true Redmond bashing began, with even a few jabs at IBM -- despite that company's fervent support of Java. McNealy opened with his usual top 10 list, this time: the "Top 10 signs your boss isn't designed to be a software development manager." The top signs included, "He thinks plug-ins are an alternative to Rogaine; he thinks since Microsoft calls it Windows 2000 it must be Y2K-compliant; and No. 1, he actually dated in high school." The Microsoft insults were greeted with more applause than the developer geek jokes. Next, McNealy reminded attendees that he promised in his speech in 1998 to drive Java down to consumer devices. This reminder served as his launch into a description of the new computing model that says software is becoming a commodity and will be replaced by appliances and services. In addition to its mobility, McNealy said safety and security are Java's most compelling attributes. He compared Java with what he perceives as a virus-prone Windows environment that is not nearly stable enough. "If this was the car business, the government would force Microsoft to recall every one of those things. Write safely, write in Java," McNealy said. Under this new appliance/services model, McNealy said that only three architectures will continue to thrive: Linux, Wintel, and Java/Solaris/Sparc/Jini. What used to be software applications will become features accessible from a Java browser, he said. "When was the last time you saw a software start-up?" McNealy asked. According to McNealy, this new model is cheaper, more exciting, and certainly more mobile. "It would be really cool if you didn't have to lug your computer everywhere you went," McNealy said -- a statement for which he received significant applause from an audience that was likely exhausted from toting their laptops around all week.

As file offsets/lengths are specified as 64bits in
java.io.{File,RandomAccessFile}, that shouldn't be a problem. Downloading a
200Gig file to a DOS filesystem could be a problem, yes, but that's hardly up
to the porter to decide. It seems to me that throughout Java, 64bitiness was
reckoned with (logical - AXP was there, 64bit UltraSPARC around the corner).
Anyway, it seems you were misunderstood (including by me) - it seemed that you
were hacking the interface of the java.* files, instead of tweaking the
implementation of those to match the underlying platform, which is of course
just fine.
(and I don't give a shit about what Microsoft did or didn't do - Microsoft
won't be beaten in court, but in the marketplace).

Cees

Given the fact that he makes a living on selling these boxes, I can't blame him for that :-). Second, a part of the vision here is that very big irons (like the Enterprise 1) will serve a lot of very small appliances (like Palms). Now, I don't know whether Linux will actually boot on this box, but when I shell out a 7-figure number for a server box I don't really mind when a vendor-supported OS runs on it. Anyway, go to the JavaOne website and watch this keynote (and the other ones as well, while you're at it - this was the best one, especially the comedy group in the middle, but Douglas Adams' speech was worthwhile as well).
