Re: java on alpha
We are using Java JDK 1.3.1 on XP1000 machines. It works together with Tomcat
4.1. I briefly tried kaffe but it wouldn't handle Tomcat
There is an rpm for the JDK here:
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/linuxdevtools/latest/jdk-1.3.1-1-linux-alpha.rpm
You will also need the following libs
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/linuxdevtools/latest/cpml_ev6-5.2.0-1.alpha.rpm
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/linuxdevtools/latest/libots-2.2.7-2.alpha.rpm
When converting the rpm with alien, a script necessary for cpml_ev6-5.2.0
installation is not translated: the following manual step takes care of this
cd /usr/lib/compaq/cpml-5.2.0
rm -f /usr/lib/compaq/cpml-5.2.0/libcpml_ev6.so
ld -shared -o libcpml_ev6.so -soname libcpml.so -whole-archive
libcpml_ev6.a -no-whole-archive -lots
strip libcpml_ev6.so
/sbin/ldconfig
But beware !: Because of a bug in glibc I have to use a libc version < 2.3.2-9
(2.2.5-11.5), see Bug#221969 (libc6.1 2.3.2.ds1-10 & 2.3.2-9 causes causes
Segmentation fault in Java JDK1.3.1). That means I can only use the stable
"woody" version since I have not heard that this particular problem was
resolved
Hope this helps
