I tried the symlinks before and then installed the older library (libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0 In both cases when I try to run the following program: --- /* Hello.java */ import java.awt.*; public class Hello extends Frame { public static void main(String argv[]) { new Hello(); } Hello() { Label hello = new Label("Hello World"); add(hello, "Center"); setSize(200, 200); setVisible(true); } } --- javac Hello.java java Hello Then the box with Hello World appears but I got the following message: '' 2002-12-10 18:19:48 java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences$3 run WARNING: Could not create system preferences directory. System preferences are unusable.'' The same message appears when I run 'appletviewer something.html'.
