First let me know that i hav to start my feodora by passing kernel parameters as "noapic" otherwise it gives Bios bug:and says timer not connectd to IOAPIC

plz help me to solve these problem.

What is the output of:

java -version

You might want to copy and paste error messages from now on. Saying you get some "error like x" is not really helpful.

-X

it works
and gives java vestion 1.5.0.
thts message bt gives error while running nt even at compiling time
javac works proper
bt whn using java specially for swing prog it gives error

I know the command works, but you are still not copying and pasting the results. This is a copy and paste of my java -version command:

java version "1.6.0_10"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-b33)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode, sharing)

Copy and paste everything here, including error messages. If you can also post your code, would also be helpful.

I am asking this because the problem could be in one or several different places, like:

- You are using a different compiler or JRE other than Sun's Java (eg: gcj)
- There is an error with your code;
- You are using a newer compiler and trying to run with an older Java RE.

Usually, when you can compile a program fine but can't run a Swing application, it means that you are using gcj. If you had copied and pasted the results of java -version we would've known.

Again, copy and paste everything. There is no such a thing as too much information. If you just say that "it gives an error", we cannot help you.

in java -version command it gives like this:

java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode, sharing)

and when i run my swing program it gives error msg like this:
>java ftpClient

I hav dual boot system and this program run perfectly under windows environment bt in fedora-9 it gives error.

and for tomcat it gives error like this:

[root@localhost bin]# sh startup.sh
Cannot find ./catalina.sh
This file is needed to run this program

bt the file catalina.sh is there in the bin directory of tomcat.
wht i can do now to solve this?
plz help me

It seems you don't have libXext installed. Install it by typing:

su -c 'yum install libXext'

and tell us if this solved your problem.

i have also tried that command and it gives message like this:

yum install libXext
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running as pid 2581.
