No. Sun's JDK 1.3.1 was broken when used with libc6 2.3.1 (which is now in sid), but blackdown have released fixed versions of both 1.4 and 1.3. It was *not* a problem with libc, it was an issue with the JDK; thus a recompile of libc would not help. > > i'm running "testing", and installed J2SDK1.3.1 from blackdown without > any apparent problems. > some java applications work, including, incredibly, most of the java3d > demos, but some fail. this is what i get when i try to run Eclipse: > > Exception in thread "main" java.util.zip.ZipException: No such file or > directory at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method) > at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:110) > at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:115) > at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:57) Not sure exactly what the problem is, but it looks like it's missing some libraries.

I doubt it. > or is it sufficient to do that glibc recompilation? As in the first paragraph. My only though is are you sure you've installed all the libraries that eclipse needs? It certainly looks like it wants something it can't find up there. -rob
