Dear friends: I had forgotten how difficult it was for me to find the IBM JRE. I knew it existed because KDE lists it on their www.konqueror.org page (even though they claim it doesn't work) and because of the note by Zeljko Vukman, who said that he had replaced Sun's Java with IBM's and that IBM's JVM worked perfectly in KDE 2.0 (or was it 2.1?). OK, here is the full info. I will post it to the list. 1) General page for IBM porting of its JDK to various platforms, including Linux: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/index.html 2) IBM Developer Kit for Linux: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux130/ 3) DOWNLOAD PAGE for IBM 1.3-6 JRE: http://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/dklx130/dklx130-p The file you download is an RPM file but with your registration user name attached to it. Simply change the name to drop off the last part: For example, my file arrived in the following form, more or less: IBMJava2-JRE-1.3-6.0.i386.rpmSher07 I then renamed it as follows: mv IBMJava2-JRE-1.3-6.0.i386.rpmSher07 IBMJava2-JRE-1.3-6.0.i386.rpm And then I just installed it: rpm -Uvh IBMJava2-JRE-1.3-6.0.i386.rpm It installs into /opt/IBM1.3-6 All that remains is to configure Konqueror, the Browser, in KDE 2.1 (Settings, Browser, Java, Path: /opt/IBMJava2-13/jre/bin/java [sher@mindspring sher]$ cd /opt [sher@mindspring /opt]$ ls IBMJava2-13/ [sher@mindspring /opt]$ cd IBMJava2-13/ [sher@mindspring IBMJava2-13]$ ls docs/ jre/ [sher@mindspring IBMJava2-13]$ cd jre [sher@mindspring jre]$ ls bin/ lib/ [sher@mindspring jre]$ cd bin [sher@mindspring bin]$ ls JavaPluginControlPanel* libJdbcOdbc.so* libjava.so* libzip.so* awt_robot* libagent.so* libjavaplugin12.so* oldjava* classic/ libawt.so* libjdwp.so* oldjavaw* exe/ libcmm.so* libjitc.so* policytool* java* libdcpr.so* libjpeg.so* rmid* javaplugin.so* libdt_socket.so* libjsound.so* rmiregistry* javaw* libfontmanager.so* libnet.so* tnameserv* jvmtcf* libhpi.so* liborb.so* keytool* libhprof.so* libxhpi.so* [sher@mindspring bin]$ 4) Please try your IBM Java on your favorite sites and let us know if it works for you.
