I have been using java for years and never figured out how to work with the gcj java. I think the major problem is that java is distrubuted with the SUN Public Lic. I think that stops people from making simple RPM packages of the java runtime on public sites. Or there is some other reason I am not aware of. What I have done in the past is went to <a href="http://java.sun.com">java.sun.com</a>. I download the full JDK or SDK. This allows a user to compile and run. The JRE is for running applications only. I run the RPM or tar and install it saying yes to whatever questions it ask. Then I tar up the entire directory and make a shell script to install it on other machines. Java SDK is very portable itself the linux version will run on any linux kernel 2.4 2.6 and distro (as far as I have tested). All you need is the tar file. A path entry poining to the java executable and a JAVA_HOME entry for your java path. ** I only use java for running command line applications. My method works well for me. Running the full install as sun designs it to be run is a better option. ** <div>On 4/30/07, Rob Crittenden <<a href="mailto:rcritten@redhat.com">rcritten@redhat.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> BAPPA MALLICK wrote: > Dear List, > > I am very new in FDS and install my first FDS server > on my RHEL-4 ES system.
