thanks for the quick reply. i've actually installed ibm's jdk:

java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2)
Classic VM (build 1.4.2, J2RE 1.4.2 IBM build cxppc32142-20040917 (JIT enabled: jitc))

but, whenever i try to run any java program, i get at some point an
'illegal hardware instruction' error (plus a java core file). for
instance, if i run policytool (which comes with the jdk):

JVMDG217: Dump Handler is Processing Signal 4 - Please Wait.
JVMDG303: JVM Requesting Java core file
JVMDG304: Java core file written to /tmp/javacore.20041127.042722.8729.txt
JVMDG215: Dump Handler has Processed Exception Signal 4.
Illegal instruction

(i'm running 2.6.9, in case that matters). any idea about what's going
on?

thanks,
jao
