I am attaching a ls -l of my /lib.  Yes, I would link libm.so.5 to
libm.so.5.0.6 (or 9) and see what happens.

First of all, assume that I don't know much of what I'm talking about :).

When I upgraded libc to 5.4.44, libm 5.0.9 came along with it. So when I
reverted to 5.4.33 (which Steve Byrne says is just fine, BTW), I also had
to revert to libm 5.0.6. In /lib there were both 5.0.9 and 5.0.6;
libm.so.5 was a symbolic link pointing to 5.0.9. I just relinked it to
5.0.6, renamed 5.0.9 to xlibm509 or something, and reran ldconfig. And it
all started to work again!

I'm sure that if you pull down the sources and recompile talk, it will
work. I did not try that.

Well, libm seemed to be the problem, not libc.

Sure. Attached.

After much head scratching, I decided that that was the only thing left to
try!

Difficulty installing kaffe

1998-05-23 Thread Roger Hill

Hi. I'm not sure if this is the appropriate list, but maybe someone here
can help.

I have just gone through the Kaffe install, but every time I try anything
(eg javac HelloWorldApp.java), I get:

[rhill@lappie test]$ javac HelloWorldApp.java
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: initializeSystemClass
[rhill@lappie test]$
I copied classes.zip from my jdk 1.1.5 installation.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

I'm sure you are right!

Thanks, sorry for the dumb question.

I've used different 3COM cards, on three different latops under
Linux...all have worked perfectly. Recommended.

Classes.zip 1.1.5v7

1998-05-10 Thread Roger Hill

I am trying to run an applet in netscape 3.04 (Linux).

It gives me every time: Cannot run applet: zip file is so old it does not
have a version number.

Classes.zip was downloaded last week!

What is Netscape talking about?
Thanks
