AD> 1.7.10 didn't work. Flat. There's something in the HOWTO along those AD> lines. I'd recommend upgrading to 1.7.12. Ok, that did it. (I happen to be running a Debian-0.93 (a.out) setup, but it turns out ld.so-1.7.14 has found its way into the elf-debian tree, so I grabbed that instead.) The point of this exercise was to try to find the smallest set of *additions to* my stock Debian-0.93 setup that would enable me to run java-linux. To do this, I created an off-line directory /G/java-linux into which I successively unpacked the following packages: 1. Blackdown/Chapman java-linux `common' and `static' archives linux.jdk.common.tar.gz linux.jdk.x86-static-motif-bin.tar.gz 2. Debian.elf-libc libc5-5.2.18-1.deb 3. Debian.elf-x11r6lib elf-x11r6lib-3.1.2-1.deb (and because Debian.elf-xpm was not yet available) 4. the Slackware-3.0 x11 `xpm.tgz' package I then added the following three lines to my `/etc/ld.so.conf': /G/java-linux/Debian.elf-libc/lib /G/java-linux/Debian.elf-x11r6lib/lib /G/java-linux/Slackware-3.0-x11-xpm/usr/X11R6/lib and upgraded to ld.so-1.7.14 as noted earlier. One more detail: Debian does not support `which', so I replaced the call to `which' that occurs in `.java_wrapper' by `type -p': /G/java-linux/java/bin # diff .java_wrapper original-.java_wrapper ------------------------------ quote ------------------------------ 20,22c20 < echo ".java_wrapper sees PATH=$PATH" < PRG=`type -p $0` < echo "PRG=$PRG" --- > PRG=`which $0` >/dev/null 2>&1 ----------------------------- unquote ---------------------------- A pointer from /usr/local/java to /G/java-linux/java is required. And as soon as Xpm finds its way into the elf-debian tree, I will grab it. Looking good! Bill
