REGARDING                javac-linux

Yay, Whoopie!  Got it working finally! Thanks to everyone who helped.  A
suggestion for the author(s) of the documentation though:

For those newbies like me, It might help to mention in the HOWTO:

1.)  that you *MUST* obtain the binary distribution of libc, not the source
distribution. I heard that several other people made the same mistake that I
did and grabbed the wrong distribution.

2.) The libc.so binary distribution has to be un-tarred from the root
directory.

3.) Also, I checked the symbolic link in /lib/libc.so.5 -> libc.so.5.2.18,
and re-did an 'ldconfig' to insure it was working.

Everything is fine now. Linux and Java - what a combination!
