Hi Guys...

I installed Mandrake 10 official and tried to install any java related stuff. I installed JDK 1.3 & 1.4 - Any everytime I try to start java, I get the following error:

/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_04/bin/i386/native_threads/java: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Could anyone help me with this please?

Cheers
Martin

You obviously don't have libstdc++ and -libc6.1-1.so.2 libraries installed.
That's why it's better to install software from RPMs. The sistem finds the dependencies by itself that way. Find a RPM version of java and make a nev "rpm" directory then move the package into it. In MCC open Package manager and set this new directory as a new rpm source (media). This way you will be able to install it from MCC and the needed packages will be installed as well.

Hi MATJA_KAE_92 - I installed Mandrake 10 official, clean copy. Then I installed the libstdc++ libraries. The problem I can see is that the JAVA VM uses an older version of the libstdc++ libraries. I downloaded the libraries needed from the web, and the RPM tool indicated that the version I'm trying to install is older than the one that's CURRENTLY installed. I Also DID installed the JVM from an RPM file, and it did not complain. I tried SUN JDK 1.3 & 1.4 PLUS I tried the IBM VM....and all of them complained about the libstdc++ libraries......Now, how will Mandrake be used as 'n java development platform, if you can't get JAVA running on the damn thing!?

Well, I use 10 Official Power pack and java is already included.
So I don't have any problems with it.
The included package is j2re-1.4.2_04-1mdk.

Okay...I downloaded the 3 ISO disc version. Java is not included with this pack. Did anyone download the 3 ISO disc version and got java working?!

Have you tried Kaffe?

If kaffe can't do the job for you, try changing the java settings under etc/alternatives.

Mandrake 10 is shipped with kaffe installed if I'm not mistaking.

Later!

I run the Mandrake 10 download ed. I got the latest java from the sunsite along with netbeans all in one bundle. About 90MB.

It comes with a windows style installer so it no prob even though i was still relatively new to linux at the time.

You should be able to get java without netbeans as well.

I realise installing JDK is not the problem, im just passing on what worked for me.

Good luck

Try to download java from here:
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Read the instructions! Make a rpm first and install it from Mandrake control center, so the dependencies will be found.

I helped a guy who installed MDK 10 from 3CD set to install this package some days ago. It works perfectly.

I have java working with a 4 disc set of mdk 10... You need the compatibility c libs by the looks? Not sure if they are on the first three disks or not?

Kaffe, BTW, doesn't work with a lot of stuff, like limewire etc...

I got the same problem with Maple 9.03 math software.

I solved it by downloading the libraries:libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2


hope this helpshttp://www.dlhoffman.com/publiclibra....0-3.i386.html

is there a mirror

I am having troubles also installing maple 9 on my mdk 10 system
