JDK1.1.5 Installation

[Dennis Dixon <dixon@dixonadvise.com>]

Thanks to everyone for helping me with mounting my 2nd Linux partition.  I'm
sure on my own I would have surely screwed it up.  Now, on to new problems.

I am trying to install the package 'jdk1.1.5-v7-libc5.tar.gz' 
(downloaded from 'ce.usu.edu/pub/mirror/linus/JDK/JDK-1.1.5/i386/libc5/v7/).

I put '/usr/local/jdk1.1.5/bin' in my path in '/root/.bash_profile' and
added the statement:
                  'export DISPLAY=:0'
to '/root/.bash_profile' also.

Then after 'tar zxvf jdk1.1.5.tar.gz', I ran the command:
'appletviewer
/usr/local/jdk1.1.5/demo/awt-1.1/lightweight/OpenlookButtons/example.html'

My error message was:
java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0' as
the value of the DISPLAY variable.

I do have the XF86 .deb package installed but I'm obviously not making the
right entry in '/root/.bash_profile'.

I have already posted my question to Paul Reavis (tumu@worldofbeverage.net)
who is listed in Blackdown's Java How To page for Debian users
(http://www.mindspring.com~tumu/java/Debian-JDK.html).  Possibly, someone on
this mailing list might also know the answer to this one.

Thanks for anyone's help.
