Installing JBuilder4 on Red Hat 7.0

Question: I am installing JBuilder4 on a Red Hat 7.0 system and when I try to run the linux_install from the root of the CD it fails with a segmentation fault. How can I get JBuilder 4 installed on a Red Hat 7.0 machine?

Answer: Due to conflicts with certain libraries shipped with Red Hat 7.0, the install launcher fails with a segmentation fault. In order to install JBuilder 4, you need to update a few RPM's on your machine.

PLease Note: The following rpm's were current as of November 29, 2000. There may be newer releases available from Red Hat but these should work.

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filename]
where filename is the name of the RPM.

Question: What if I can't download those files?

Answer: If you aren't able to download and update these files, then you still can install JBuilder 4. Change directory to the linux_sol dir on the CD and run the separate installs from there. For instance.

[root@localhost cdrom]cd linux_sol

[root@localhost linux_sol]./fnd_install.bin

After you have foundation installed you will need to point the installer to the JDK for the rest of the installs. For instance:

[root@localhost linux_sol]./pro_install.bin LAX_VM /usr/local/jbuilder4/jdk1.3/bin/java

Notice that that path is to the "Java" executable and not just the directory
