Do you have the gcc compatibility libraries installed? I don't use Sun's
Java version -- I'm using Blackdown's Java 1.4.2 -- so I can't test my
theory out. But experience with previous Java versions tells me that gcc
compatibility is normally the first place to look.
Check if you have the following installed:
compat-libstdc++-33
compat-libstdc++-296
I think the packages are available for i386, but I'm not sure if they
are for x86_64. Also, I think you may only need compat-libstdc++-33.
I'd install it and try the applet thing again.
