Do you have libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 symlinked to another version of the library? That file comes from libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1, and the java compiler from Sun's JDK 1.4 cannot be run without it. So with regard to Java 1.4, I stand by my statement. It would be interesting if they actually compiled JDK 1.4 against an older set of libraries than JDK 1.3; I've never tried to run 1.3 on a machine with only libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2, so I don't actually know if there is a difference between 1.3 and 1.4 in that regard.
