you should give some more details, man !
Are you talking about java sdk ? (you didn't mention 'java')
OK. if so, you have to know there are 4 java JRE you can/should use with linux:
- 1.3.1_01 and 1.4.1_01 from java.sun.com
- 1.3.1_01 and 1.4.1_01 from
www.blackdown.org
They are built with different tools, so, you should try these four, because based on which linux distro you use, your "glibc" is different, and the JRE's depend directly on those "glibc" and tools (gcc- compiler).
I.e.: For Mandrake 9.1 and RedHat 7.3, I use 1.4.1_01 from
www.blackdown.org, but I think RedHat 8 uses the one from Sun (don't remember...)
