Hi, I've just discovered Linux and installed Mandrake 6.1 (Helios). I have to run a java program that needs the JDK I downloaded the jdk_1.1.7-v1a-glibc-x86.tar.gz and it gave me the folowing error when I tried to run simply "./java" /usr/local/jdk117_v1a/bin/../bin/i686/green_threads/java : error in loading shared libraries : ./../lib/i686/green_threads/libjava.so : undefined symbol : _dl_symbol_value Yesterday I tried to find another jdk package, and I spent one hour and an half to dowload it :-(. It was jdk-117_v1a-2.i386.rpm, but it failed the same way as the previous one ;-(( Does someone can help me ? Thanks in advance. Francois
