Re: tcl/tk error in RedHat 7.3

[Paul Johnson]

I talked to a couple of people last month with the same problem.  RedHat 
does something bad to the java files when they repackage them, and we 
never found a way around it.

Don't use the java RPMs.

Get the Sun tarball, put it in /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.0. If it untars to 
/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.0_01 either rename the directory or sym link it.

It will work.

The alternative is to take the Swarm SRPM file I have, edit the SPEC 
file to tell it where the java home is, and rebuild the rpm.
