RE: Library problems with Java DK

[Dennis McMurchy <denismcm@example.com>]

  Hi,

  I should have done a little more checking before posting my question
about unresolved references with java.

  Had a look at http://java.blackdown.org/java-linux.html
The Mini-HOWTO there has a page on libraries, which says quite clearly:

    You will need the following versions of each package: 
    libc version 5.2.18 or greater. 
    ld.so version 1.7.14 or greater. 

I'm oopserating with ld.so.1  and libc.so.5.0.9, which is the problem.
Sorry for raising questions I should have answered myself.

  One more point, though.  The same HOWTO says, quite ambiguously:
"In addition it is recommended that you run a 2.0.x or greater linux kernel".

  To me 'recommended' means just that, i.e. 'NOT essential'.  Any ideas on
this.  I'm trying to put off the inevitable upgrade until I go back to 
the woods in December.
