"setenv LAX_DEBUG 1" will show debug output for per_install.bin 2. If you change per_install.bin shell script, you must make sure that the byte count of the file stays the same, otherwise it will not extract the zip file. 3. "./per_install.bin LAX_VM /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/bin/java" will force the installer to use the specified VM when running the installer. 4. the installer will attempt to write to "/lib", "/jre", will *still* fail even if it succeeds. I've given up. I don't really need JBuilder that much either. -- Jonathan Chen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "One, with God, is always a majority, but many a martyr has been burned at the stake while the votes were being counted." -- Thomas B.
