Okay, I am running RH 5 and am trying to get the jdk115 to work. The site said to upgrade glibc and glibc-devel to the latest located at redhat.com. Okay, I downloaded these and tried to upgrade them. rpm -U glibc-whatever... rpm -U glibc-devel-whatever.. This devel package wold not upgrade or install (I'm sorry I for got the error now, something about synbols) What I want to no is, what do I need to do to upgrade the RH5 libraries from a 'cherry' install of RH 5? Why are there so many problems with 5? I never had a single problem under 4.1 and 4.2. Can anyone tell me what 5.0 improved on?
