Install the updates from http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHBA-2000-079.html Juergen Juergen Kreileder, Blackdown Java-Linux Team Red Hat has released at least 3 new sets of rpms for 7.0 which address bugs in the glibc packages. Some of the bugs fixed include some killers which break Sun's JVM. I'd go visit an update site (I usually try ftp.valinux.com first) and download every available glib*rpm for 7.0. -- Joi Ellis Software Engineer Aravox Technologies joi@a..., gyles19@v... J2SDK v1.3.0 requires glibc-2.1.3 or higher. The above problem usually happens when you try to run Java on a system with an older version of glibc.
