I hope this is helpful. (I'm having some trouble running it under 2.1.6-RELEASE (See below.) My problems stem from not having the proper libraries. I'm way strung out so the following is probably incorrect but: JDK can't locate libc.3.0.so(?something like this)..... Whatever the actual name is, I have version 2.2. (in /usr/lib) I had been meaning to ask a guru about this anyway, so this is probably a good time. Can I update this file (to perhaps a unique directory) without affecting other compiler activity?)
