So your rpms of libc and X don't give the dependencies they provide. Hence the much newer jdk rpm, with newer rpm thinks you don't have the necessary librarys. You can work around the problem by telling rpm to ignore dependencies with: rpm -U jdk-1.0.2.2-2.i386.rpm --nodeps -- David Gibson @ The Lorax | New from Microsoft... david%brucehall20@anu.edu.au | THNEED 95 | Which everyone, Everyone, EVERYONE needs.
