It looks like you are running the older JDK (pre glibc2.1) on a glibc2.1 system. There was a change in glibc 2.1 that broke our glibc 2.0 JDK code.

Select/poll for java-linux
Has anybody implemented it already ? Sun does not seem to try to solve the subject, but I suppose that it should be possible to add select like functionality on top of current jdk (including some native code of course).

Still vexed, JNI + Motif in 1.2 JDK
Hi all - Has anyone had any luck using the newer 1.2 JDKs (1.2-preXX and/or the latest 1.2.2-RCxx) from within a Motif app? Specifically I'm trying to use the JNI to make calls from within a C program, and running into trouble due to the fact that libawt.so contains a statically linked copy of Motif. The 1.1.7 model (where Motif was resolved by java, javac, etc) worked with no problems. But I've tried everything (except for building my own JDK from Sun sources and Blackdown diffs) and I'm convinced there is no way I can do this given the current distribution. Thanks for any ideas - I have a bug report filed on the Blackdown pages but I think it may be a while before the Incoming pile gets small enough for it to get noticed. (1437 is the number).

Building 1.2.2 from Sun sources + Blackdown diffs
Hi all - I've spent some time over the last two weeks trying to track down the original 1.2 Sun sources (they're no longer on Sun's web pages, only the 1.2.2 stuff is there). Given the name of the latest 1.2.2-RC2 release, I'm thinking it is probably based on the 1.2.2 source tree. If so, how can I get a copy of the Blackdown diffs for this latest release? I realize everyone on the porting team is probably swamped, and I'm ready and willing to tackle a few issues myself and submit patches, but it's been incredibly difficult to even get started. For 1.2 I have the diffs but no source tree. For 1.2.2 I have the source tree but no diffs. Do the porting team folks read this list anymore? Hope so!

font.properties
I'm looking for a font.properties file that utilizes only basic X fonts that are compatible with xfs or are common to most Unix/Linux systems. I want to be able to run java applications cross platform, via remote X server, and am constantly hitting either font-not-found problems, or runtime java errors that read like: Exception occurred during event dispatching: java.lang.InternalError: Unsupported 16-bit depth I have no problems running java via remote X servers of the same flavor (both Linux, both Solaris, etc), but this doesn't really get me anywhere. If anyone has such a file (or can point me to one in a blackdown distribution) I would be much obliged! --Jeff B. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
