java not working anymore (libc6.1 ?)

[Gnanasekaran Thoppae <gnana@gsf.de>]

hi,

I am running 'sid' on Alpha XP1000.  I have been using compaq jdk 1.3.1
successfully, since recently I have not be able to use it. I get this
error:
-------------------
java -version
Can't load library "/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/alpha/libjava.so",
because /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/alpha/libjava.so: symbol __libc_wait,
version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6.1 with link time
reference
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
-------------------

somewhere on the net i read a similar posting that indicated that in
libc6.1-2.3.1 something is broken that results in incompatible binary.  

I am not sure what exactly is the problem.

Does any one come across this problem? It is reported that
libc6.1-2.2.4. Any suggestions how to solve this problem?

thanks.
