It's the fact that Debian 2.0 uses glibc, whereas AIM is linked against libc5. Get the jdk1.1-runtime package and install it. Then set the JAVA_HOME shell variable in your .bashrc or .tcshrc:
bash: export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jdk1.1" tcsh: setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/lib/jdk1.1 If that doesn't get things working, lemme know. P.S.: I rarely use bash, so anyone seeing any problems with my syntax please correct me ;) -- Brian Almeida <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.org/~bma/ Debian/GNU Linux Developer -- http://www.debian.org/ PGP Key: pub 1024/3A800C65 1998/04/20 Brian M.
